Privacy Policy

Unlike many online services, we deliberately designed this calculator to operate without collecting any personal information. Specifically, we do NOT collect:

• Your name, email address, or contact information
• Income or salary information
• Tax filing status or personal tax data
• Social Security numbers or government IDs
• Employer information
• Banking or financial account details
• Location data beyond basic analytics (see below)
• IP addresses or unique device identifiers

All salary calculations, tax withholdings, and results are computed in your browser using JavaScript and never leave your device.

To improve your experience, the calculator uses your browser's local storage to temporarily save your input values. This allows you to:

• Return to the calculator without re-entering all your information
• Keep your preferences between sessions
• Avoid losing data if you accidentally close the browser

We may use privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand how people use the calculator. This helps us improve the tool and identify technical issues. Any analytics we collect are:

• Completely anonymous - no personally identifiable information
• Aggregated - we only see overall patterns, never individual usage
• Basic - page views, button clicks, time spent (no salary or tax data)
• Optional - you can block analytics using browser extensions or settings

This calculator does not use cookies to track you or collect personal information. Any cookies that may be present are strictly functional:

• Essential cookies required for the website to function properly
• Session cookies that expire when you close your browser

We do not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies, or third-party marketing cookies.

Our contact form allows you to send us messages, questions, or feedback. When you submit the contact form, we collect:

• Your name (optional)
• Email address
• Phone number (optional)
• Your message or inquiry

This information is processed through our contact form service provider, Formspree, to deliver your message to us. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry and provide customer support.

This calculator is designed to be self-contained. We do not share your information with third parties because we don't collect it in the first place.

However, please note:

• Your internet service provider (ISP) may log your visits to this website
• Our web hosting provider may maintain server logs with basic access information
• If we use analytics, those providers have their own privacy policies

These third parties do not have access to any calculation data or personal information you enter in the calculator.

Since all calculations happen in your browser and we don't store or transmit your data:

• There is no server-side database to be breached
• Your financial information cannot be intercepted in transit
• The calculator works even without an internet connection once loaded

For maximum privacy, consider using this calculator in private/incognito browsing mode.

You have complete control over your data:

• Delete your data: Click the "Reset" button or clear your browser's local storage
• Block analytics: Use browser privacy settings or ad/tracker blockers
• Private browsing: Use incognito/private mode to prevent any local storage
• Clear cookies: Use your browser settings to manage or delete cookies
