Privacy Policy

How we handle information when you use Paycheck Calculator Pros.

Effective date: November 14, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information Paycheck Calculator Pros (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects when you visit paycheckcalculatorpros.com (the “Site”), how we use it, and the choices you have.

The Short Version

  • You don’t need an account to use our calculators.
  • The numbers you enter in the calculator stay in your own browser. We don’t send them to our server.
  • Like most websites, our hosting provider keeps basic technical logs.
  • If we add analytics or advertising in the future, those services may use cookies. This policy explains how to control them.

Information You Enter in the Calculator

The paycheck calculator runs entirely in your web browser. Your salary, wage, filing status, deductions, and other inputs are processed on your device and are not transmitted to or stored on our servers.

To save you time on your next visit, the calculator stores your most recent inputs in your browser’s local storage. This data stays on your device. You can clear it at any time by pressing Reset in the calculator or by clearing your browser’s site data.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Site, our web host and security tools may automatically record standard technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit. This information is used to keep the Site secure, fix errors, and keep it running smoothly.

Information You Send Us

If you email us, we receive your email address and anything you include in your message. We use it only to reply to you and to improve the Site, for example to correct an error you report. We don’t sell or share your email address.
