Your calculator inputs
Calculations run on your device. This application does not submit pay amounts, costs, or results to a server or database. Optional analytics events contain an action name and page or calculator identifier, never your entered numbers or result amounts. Your browser may retain form entries and history according to its settings.
Sharing and temporary storage
Result cards are created locally. Sharing a result sends the information you choose to the receiving person or service. A link with inputs includes values in the fragment after #. That fragment is not sent in the normal HTTP request, but anyone receiving the full link can read it. Clipboard tools, extensions, and browsing history may retain it. Optional advertising and analytics do not load on a visit whose URL contains a query or fragment.
Privacy choices use local storage in this browser for up to six months. Changing choices after a service has loaded reloads the page. To preserve your calculator entries during that reload, the site temporarily saves them in this tab’s session storage and removes that saved copy when it restores the form. You can clear browser storage at any time; choices do not automatically transfer to another device.
Optional analytics
Optional analytics is configured. It loads only after you allow it. Cloudflare Web Analytics measures pageviews, visits, referring pages, devices, and performance without analytics cookies. Its visit counts are not a count of distinct people, and this integration does not report calculator actions. It can receive the current page URL, the referring-page URL supplied by your browser, and performance information. We skip the Cloudflare script when either URL contains a query string or fragment. The network request also exposes an IP address to Cloudflare; its documentation says analytics IP addresses are discarded at the edge. We do not send entered pay values, calculator results, contact messages, or order details.
Google Analytics is not active.
Declining analytics leaves all calculators and downloads available. Browser Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals disable optional analytics and advertising. Counts therefore omit some visitors. Provider information: Cloudflare privacy and Cloudflare analytics data.
Advertising and regional choices
Ad serving is inactive. Preparing the site for AdSense does not mean Google has approved it. If enabled, Google and its partners may use cookies, identifiers, IP addresses, device details, and page context to deliver, measure, and personalize advertisements. See how Google uses information from partner sites.
Advertising activation requires Google’s certified consent manager, with European and US messages configured. In the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, our ad loader waits for the required affirmative consent signals. US opt-out signals and Global Privacy Control are respected. Unknown or unavailable consent data prevents our ad requests. No ads are requested when you choose to keep optional advertising off.
Use “Privacy choices” or “Do not sell or share my personal information” in the footer to block optional services on this browser. When the advertising consent manager is available, the panel also offers its regional consent or opt-out controls. Withdrawing consent does not undo earlier processing. Browser settings can remove cookies already placed by a provider.
Purchases and affiliate links
The optional Pro Pack is sold through Gumroad. Gumroad handles payment and file delivery under its own terms and privacy policy. We do not receive full payment-card numbers. The seller may receive order identifiers, contact details, and transaction information needed for fulfillment, support, refunds, and required records. Those records follow applicable retention obligations.
No affiliate offers are active. Future affiliate links will be disclosed beside the recommendation. Visiting another site allows that provider to process the request under its own policy; you can use these calculators without following any offer.
Hosting and contact
This site is hosted on Cloudflare. The hosting provider may process IP addresses, requests, account information, and security logs to deliver and protect this site. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy for information about its processing. Hosting information is separate from our optional analytics controls.
The contact page identifies the available contact channels. Support email is handled through Gmail under Google’s privacy policy. LinkedIn processes messages under its own policies and may require sign-in. We use information you choose to send to answer questions, investigate errors, and handle privacy or purchase requests. Please use fictional examples; do not send pay stubs, government identifiers, or account numbers.
Your requests
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict use of personal information, withdraw consent, or opt out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising. Contact the operator through the contact page; explain your request without sending sensitive documents. You may also contact your local privacy regulator. We do not hold a database of your calculator values and cannot retrieve them. This site is intended for people making work and pay decisions and does not intentionally collect children’s information.
