# Accessibility statement

Last updated 9 September 2026.

## Our aim

This site should be usable by everyone, including people using screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification or voice control. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 at level AA.

## What has been done

- Pages are built from semantic HTML with one main heading each and a logical heading order, so screen readers can navigate by structure.
- Every calculator field has a permanently visible, properly associated label. Nothing relies on placeholder text.
- Results are announced to screen readers as they change, using a polite live region that does not interrupt.
- The whole site works by keyboard, with a visible focus outline on every interactive element and a skip link to the main content.
- Text and interface colours meet or exceed the AA contrast ratio. Colour is never the only way information is conveyed.
- Interactive controls are at least 44 by 44 pixels on touch devices.
- Layout reflows to a single column on small screens without horizontal scrolling, and text can be enlarged with browser zoom without loss of content.
- The one animation on the site is a brief fade when a result updates, and it is disabled for anyone whose system requests reduced motion.
- There is no autoplaying media, no carousel, no pop-up and no time limit anywhere.

## Known limitations

- Numeric fields use the browser's native number input, whose spinner controls vary in size and behaviour between browsers. Typing a value always works.
- Reference tables are wide by nature. On a narrow screen they scroll horizontally inside their own box rather than stretching the page.
- If the self-hosted font files fail to load, text falls back to a system font. This changes the appearance but not the content, contrast or usability.

## Tell us about a barrier

If any part of this site is difficult or impossible for you to use, email contact@kilometer-mileage.com . Please say which page, what you were trying to do, and what assistive technology and browser you use. Accessibility reports are treated with the same priority as factual corrections, which is to say first.

## Assessment

This statement is based on our own testing across desktop and mobile browsers, including keyboard-only navigation and automated checks. It has not been independently audited.
