  • Calculator inputs are processed locally in your browser
  • Third-party tags may process technical usage information
  • You can manage available privacy choices or block cookies through your browser or consent controls
  • Google AdSense is currently used to display advertisements; advertising technologies may process technical usage information

Cookies and Local Storage

Our website and third-party advertising or measurement providers may use cookies, local storage, web beacons, IP addresses, and similar technologies for:

  • Remembering your language preference
  • Basic website functionality
  • Improving user experience
  • Ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, and personalized or non-personalized advertising where permitted and consented

No personal or financial data is ever stored in cookies or local storage.

Third-Party Services

Our website is hosted on third-party infrastructure. Google Tag Manager manages scripts and tags. Google Analytics is not directly configured in this repository; if analytics tags are deployed through GTM, they may collect usage and technical data. The site uses Google AdSense to display advertisements, and Google or other advertising technology providers may process technical request information, identifiers, and ad-interaction data according to applicable settings and consent.

Advertising Choices and Regional Consent

Ad personalization may vary by location, device, settings, and consent. Where applicable, users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland may be presented with consent choices through the site's configured Google or certified consent-management flow. Your choices can affect advertising personalization and the use of related storage technologies. The availability and operation of that flow are controlled by the live advertising configuration and cannot be confirmed solely from this repository.

Security

Since we don't collect or store your personal information, there's no risk of your financial data being compromised through our website. All calculations happen securely within your browser.

Children's Privacy

Our calculator does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. The tool is designed for working adults to calculate their paychecks.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last modified" date.
