By using TheTaxCalc, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
Information You Provide
When you use our tax calculators, you may voluntarily enter financial information such as salary figures, filing status, state of residence, 401(k) contributions, and other tax-related data. All calculations are performed entirely in your browser — we do not transmit, store, or have access to the numbers you enter into our calculators.

- IP address and approximate geographic location

- Pages visited and time spent on each page

3. Data Storage & Security
Calculator data stays in your browser. All tax calculations are performed client-side using JavaScript. The salary, tax, and deduction figures you enter never leave your device. We do not store or transmit your financial data to our servers.
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect any information we do collect (such as analytics data and email addresses). However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
