Who we are
WageCalculator.app is a free, educational US paycheck estimator available at wagecalculator.app and www.wagecalculator.app. You can reach us at hello@wagecalculator.app.
What the calculator does with your numbers
The pay amount, pay frequency, filing status, and dependent counts you enter are processed by code that runs in your browser. We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not send or store your wage amounts or scenarios on our servers. If you close or reload the page, your entries are gone.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, the services that deliver this site receive standard technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, the page you requested, the referring page, and the time of the request. This is used to deliver pages, keep the site secure, and prevent abuse.
Service providers
- Hosting and content delivery: The site is delivered through Cloudflare, which processes technical request data to serve and protect the site.
- Web fonts: Pages load fonts from Google Fonts. When your browser requests those fonts, Google receives your IP address and browser information. See policies.google.com/privacy.
- Advertising: Google AdSense (see below).
- Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand traffic, such as how many people visit and which pages they read. Google receives the same kind of technical information described above. We use it only in aggregate to improve the site. See Google's privacy policy.
Advertising and cookies
Google AdSense is currently the only ad network we use. Through AdSense, Google and Google-certified third-party ad vendors may use cookies or similar identifiers to serve and measure ads, including ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland are shown Google's consent message, which lets them choose how their data is used for ads. You can opt out of personalized advertising from Google by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at https://www.aboutads.info/choices. To learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services, see Google's advertising policies page.
Your choices
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, use private browsing, or use the Google ad settings link above. Blocking cookies will not stop the calculator from working.
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in the message. We use it only to reply and to fix problems you report. Please do not send Social Security numbers, full pay stubs, bank details, or employer login information. We keep emails only as long as needed to respond and follow up.
Children
This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Links to other sites
Pages may link to other websites and public sources. Their privacy practices are their own.
Affiliate links
This site does not currently use affiliate or sponsored links. If that changes, those links will be labeled and this policy and the Disclosure page will be updated first.
Changes to this policy
If we change how data is handled, we will update this page and the date at the top.
