Welcome to the US Paycheck Calculator. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, with whom we share it, and the choices you have.
Information We Collect
Information you provide: When you contact us via the Contact form, we collect your name, email, subject, and message.
Calculator inputs: Inputs you enter into the paycheck calculator (salary, filing status, state, etc.) are processed in your browser to compute estimates. We do not store these inputs on the server by default unless you explicitly choose to export or submit them.
Technical data: We may collect non-identifying technical information automatically, such as browser type, operating system, pages visited, and IP address for analytics and to improve the service.
Cookies and similar technologies: We use cookies and localStorage to remember preferences (such as theme preference) and to provide a better user experience.
How We Use Information
We use collected information for the following purposes:
To operate, maintain, and improve the calculator and website.
To respond to your inquiries and provide support.
To analyze usage patterns and enhance features and performance.
To remember preferences such as theme (light/dark) using localStorage.
Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:
Service providers who perform services on our behalf (hosting, analytics, email providers). These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information.
When required by law or to respond to legal process.
Data Storage & Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. If you believe your interaction with the site presents a security issue, please contact us immediately.
Cookies & Local Storage
The site uses cookies and localStorage to store non-sensitive preferences like theme preference and to enable analytics. You can manage or disable cookies via your browser settings, but disabling cookies may impact functionality.

You can clear stored preferences by clearing localStorage in your browser or using the in-app controls (e.g., theme toggle 'System').
