Accessibility statement

Last verified

Last updated October 27, 2026.

SumTrue should work for everyone who needs to add up hours or check their pay, including people who use a keyboard instead of a mouse, a screen reader, voice control, or a zoomed screen.

Our target

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium. This is a target, not a claim of full conformance; the results of our latest check are below.

How the calculators are built

  • Every input has a visible label that screen readers announce, and the expected format is written next to it.
  • Every control can be reached and used with the keyboard, in a logical order, with a visible focus outline.
  • Results are announced to screen readers when they change, without moving your focus.
  • Text meets the WCAG 2.1 AA contrast minimum.
  • When you zoom the whole page in your browser (up to 400%, which is the same as a 320 pixel wide screen) or use a narrow phone screen, the page does not scroll sideways.
  • Nothing flashes, and nothing moves on its own. Menus and result bars move only after you press something, and only briefly.
  • No information is given by color alone. An entry we cannot read gets a written message and an icon as well as a red outline, overtime is labeled in words in the results table, and links inside sentences are underlined.

How we test

On October 27, 2026 we checked these pages: the home page, the overtime calculator, the time card calculator and the California overtime page. All 51 pages were also run through the axe-core automated checker, at 1280 and 360 pixel widths, with no violations reported, including color contrast.

We use scripts in the Chromium browser (Playwright, headless). They do four things:

  • Load each page at 320, 360, 640 and 1280 pixels wide and measure whether the page scrolls sideways.
  • Enlarge the text to 200% and measure the same thing.
  • List every animation on the page, with and without the "reduce motion" setting turned on.
  • Type an unreadable entry into a field, then read what the page shows and says.

The scripts that press every button, menu, chip and checkbox also fail a page if a control changes size when pressed.

For keyboards and screen readers we walked through the calculators on the same date. The keyboard walk found 75 focus stops, each with a visible outline, and no keyboard traps. The screen-reader walk read out the labels and announced results without moving focus. That walk was simulated from the page's accessibility tree. It was not done with a real screen reader.

Known limits

  • We have not tested with a real screen reader such as NVDA, JAWS or VoiceOver, or with voice control. Our screen-reader check was simulated, so there may be barriers it could not show.
  • Enlarging only the text (a larger default font size in your browser settings, rather than zooming the whole page) makes some pages scroll sideways. At 200% text size, the menu bar runs past the edge of a desktop-width window on every page we tested. Calculator pages also scroll sideways on a 360 pixel wide phone. Zooming the whole page works. We have logged this as a fault to fix.
  • Our checks cover the four pages named above in depth. The other pages were checked only with the automated checker, which finds only some kinds of barrier.
  • We have not checked the contrast of control outlines and icons, only text.
  • During testing, the home page scrolled sideways once on a 320 pixel screen. We could not repeat it in 22 further loads, and we do not know the cause.

If you find a barrier that is not listed, please tell us at the address below. We will add it here with the date it is fixed.

Tell us about a barrier

If something on SumTrue is hard or impossible for you to use, email hello@sumtrue.com with the page address and what happened. Say which browser and assistive technology you use if you can. We aim to reply within 5 working days.
