About StatSpark

StatSpark exists because "how many people actually work from home?" deserves a clear answer with its sources attached — not a screenshot of a screenshot.

Statistics on the internet degrade like a photocopy of a photocopy: a number gets pulled from a report, stripped of its year and margin of error, pasted into a listicle, and repeated forever. StatSpark re-does the copy from the original — and tells you the vintage of every figure we publish.

Each article follows the same structure: the headline numbers, the trend over time, who the source is and when it was fielded, and the honest caveats. Where sources disagree, we show the disagreement instead of picking the most shareable number.

We are data people, not psychics — figures here are educational context, and every page ends by pointing to the primary source you should consult before acting on any number.

What makes StatSpark different

• Your numbers never leave your browser. Every calculator on StatSpark runs entirely on your device. We never see, store, or transmit the figures you enter — there are no accounts and no server-side processing of your inputs.
• Published methodology. Each calculator page explains the exact formula it uses and the assumptions behind it, so you can check our work or reproduce it in a spreadsheet.
• Free, forever, without a paywall. StatSpark is supported by advertising. There is no premium tier, no email gate, and no upsell.
