Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 29, 2026

This policy is written in plain language so it's actually readable. It is a general template and not a substitute for legal advice — if you operate this site commercially, have a lawyer review it for compliance with laws that apply to your audience (e.g. GDPR, CCPA).

Salary & Paycheck Calculator ("we," "our," or "this site") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information is, and isn't, collected when you use our free paycheck and salary calculator at salary-paycheck-calculator.com.

1. Information You Enter Into the Calculator

The calculator runs entirely in your browser. When you enter your hourly rate, salary, filing status, allowances, or deduction amounts, that data is used only to perform the calculation on your device. We do not transmit, store, or have access to any of the financial figures you type into the calculator. Closing or refreshing the page clears everything you entered.

2. Information We May Collect Automatically

Like most websites, we may automatically collect limited technical information when you visit, such as:

Browser type and version
Device type and operating system
Pages visited and time spent on the site
General location (city/country level, inferred from IP address)
Referring website (the page that linked you here)

This information is collected in aggregate through standard analytics tools and is not linked to your name or identity. It helps us understand how the site is used and where it can be improved.

3. Cookies

We may use cookies or similar technologies (such as local storage) for basic site functionality and anonymous analytics. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time; doing so will not affect your ability to use the calculator itself.

4. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services for website analytics or hosting (for example, a web analytics provider or our hosting platform). These providers may collect information as described in Section 2 under their own privacy policies. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

5. Data Security

Because the calculator performs all computations locally in your browser, your financial inputs never leave your device or reach our servers. There is no account creation, no database of user earnings, and nothing for us to store or secure on that front.

6. Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

7. Your Choices

Since the calculator doesn't require an account or store your inputs, there's no personal data tied to your use of the tool to access, correct, or delete. If you have questions about any analytics data collected during your visit, you can typically opt out through your browser's privacy settings or by using a browser extension that blocks tracking scripts.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
