Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 19, 2026
Overview
PaycheckCalculator.fyi ("we", "us") is a free client-side paycheck calculator. We are committed to respecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we (and our partners) collect when you use this site at the domain you are currently visiting.
Information you provide
Salary, filing status, state, and other inputs you enter are processed entirely in your browser. They are not transmitted to or stored on our servers. When you create a "share link", your inputs are encoded directly into the URL — anyone with that URL can view the same scenario, so only share it with people you trust.
Local storage
We use your browser's localStorage to remember your most recent scenario so the Compare page can pre-fill it. You can clear this at any time via your browser settings. We do not use tracking cookies for this feature.
Third-party advertising
This site may display advertisements served by Google AdSense and other third-party vendors. These vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info.
Analytics
We may use privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand aggregate traffic patterns. These do not identify you personally.
Children
PaycheckCalculator.fyi is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes
We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected by updating the date above.
