1. Information We Collect
When you visit PaycheckCalcUSA.com, we may automatically receive certain technical information through standard web server logs and analytics software. This includes:
- Your browser type and version
- Your operating system
- The pages you visit on our site and how long you spend on each page
- The website that referred you to our site (if any)
- Your general geographic region (country and approximate city, not street address) derived from your IP address
- The date and time of your visit
This information is collected in aggregate form and is used only to understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it. It is not linked to any personal identifier and cannot be used to identify you individually.
If you contact us through our contact form, we collect the information you choose to provide, including your name, email address, and message. We use this solely to respond to your inquiry.
If you sign up for our email notification list to be alerted when 2027 tax tables are released, we collect your email address. We use this only to send the notification you requested. We do not use it for any other marketing purpose.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
Our calculator does not collect or store your financial data
When you enter your salary, state, filing status, or any other information into our paycheck calculator, that information is processed entirely within your own browser. We do not transmit your salary, income, deduction amounts, or any other financial inputs to our servers. We cannot see what you enter into the calculator, and we do not store it anywhere.
Specifically, we do not collect:
- Your salary or income information
- Your state of residence or employment
- Your filing status or W-4 information
- Your 401(k), HSA, or benefit deduction amounts
- Your Social Security number or tax identification number
- Your employer’s name or payroll information
- Your credit card, bank account, or payment information of any kind
3. How Your Calculator Inputs Are Handled
All calculations performed by the PaycheckCalcUSA calculator run locally in your web browser using JavaScript. When you enter a salary and click “Calculate,” the math happens on your device. The inputs do not leave your browser and are not sent to our servers at any point during or after the calculation.
If you close the browser tab or navigate away from the page, your inputs are not saved anywhere. The next time you visit, the calculator starts fresh with no memory of previous sessions.
4. Cookies and Analytics
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to understand how visitors use our site. We use Google Analytics, which places a small cookie on your browser to help us track page views, session duration, and the general geographic distribution of our visitors.
Google Analytics data is anonymous — it does not identify you personally and does not contain any financial information. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through browser settings. Disabling cookies will not affect your ability to use our calculator.
5. Third-Party Services
Our website may use the following third-party services, each of which operates under its own privacy policy:
- Google Analytics — website traffic analytics (Google Privacy Policy)
- Google Fonts — fonts used for site display (Google Privacy Policy)
- Email service provider — for delivering notification emails to subscribers who request them
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with any third party for marketing purposes.
6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of the site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
We will not change this policy in a way that reduces your privacy protections without providing clear notice.
