About & methodology
What this site is
GTA Calculator answers the questions players actually search with a phone in one hand and a controller in the other: what's it worth, will it fit, is it true, is it worth the money. Tools over articles, numbers over opinions.
How we verify
Every factual claim and calculator input on this site carries one of four labels:
- verified — Confirmed by official Rockstar/Take-Two sources or at least two independent reputable outlets.
- probable — Reported by multiple reputable outlets or broad community consensus, not yet officially confirmed.
- rumour — Single-source claims, leaks, or unverified community reports. Treat with caution.
- false — Claim has been debunked or contradicted by official sources.
Rules we hold ourselves to: a claim needs an official source or two independent reputable ones before it's marked verified; every data point stores its source and a last-verified date; status changes get a public changelog entry; and money-affecting numbers get an extra human review before promotion. When we estimate (like install sizes nobody has announced), the estimate is labelled as one — on the page, not in fine print.
Who's behind this
I'm Darcy — I'm building GTACalculator.com because when I played GTA V, I was always trying to work out the smartest thing to buy next: which business had the best return, which upgrades actually mattered, which purchases were basically just flex. That information existed, but it was scattered across long guides, YouTube videos and Reddit threads. This site is the opposite: clean tables, quick answers, simple calculators — the facts fast, so you spend your time on the best money-making moves instead of digging through walls of writing. AI does the heavy lifting here — watching sources and keeping numbers fresh around the clock — while the standards, and the responsibility for getting it right, are mine.
