Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 2026.

PaycheckMath is a free informational calculator website. We do not require accounts, we do not ask for or store personal information, and we do not sell data. This policy explains what little data flows through the site and how advertising works.

What we collect

Nothing that identifies you. All calculations run entirely in your browser; the numbers you enter never leave your device. Like nearly every website, our hosting provider records standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested) for security and performance, kept for a short period.

Cookies and advertising

We may display advertising served by third parties, including Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info. Browsers also let you block or delete cookies entirely.

Analytics

If enabled, we use privacy-respecting, aggregate analytics to count page views. We do not build individual user profiles.

External links

Links to tax filing services and government sites are provided for convenience. We are not responsible for their content or policies. Some may be affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission at no cost to you.

Estimates and accuracy

All figures are estimates for informational purposes only, not tax advice.

Estimates only. PaycheckMath uses the federal 2026 tax schedules and each state's latest published income tax rates. It assumes the standard deduction and does not model credits, pre-tax deductions (401(k), HSA, insurance), itemizing, or most local income taxes. This is not tax advice — confirm numbers with your payroll provider or a tax professional.

Tax data: PaycheckNew (federal 2026 schedules; state schedules as published for 2025–2026, verified against each state's department of revenue). Federal figures from IRS inflation-adjusted schedules.
