Privacy Policy

1. Our Core Commitment to Privacy

At Paycheck Calculator AI (paycheckcalculatorai.com), we believe that your salary, hourly wages, tax withholdings, and family status are deeply private information. We have deliberately engineered this entire website so that no financial or personal data is ever collected, transmitted to a server, or stored in any database.

2. 100% Client-Side Execution

When you enter your salary, hourly rate, state, filing status, or deductions, all calculations are executed locally inside your web browser using client-side JavaScript/TypeScript.

At no point during your session are your financial inputs transmitted over the internet to our web servers, external APIs, or third-party cloud providers. If you disconnect your device from the internet after loading the page, the calculator will continue to function flawlessly.

3. Data We Do NOT Collect

• We do NOT ask for or collect your name, email address, or phone number.
• We do NOT require account registration or login credentials.
• We do NOT request your physical address or ZIP code.
• We do NOT transmit or record your salary, hourly rate, or deduction amounts.
• We do NOT log your calculation results on our servers.

4. Cookies and Local Storage

We do not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies, or cross-site fingerprinting scripts.

The only client-side storage mechanism we utilize is your browser's standard localStorage, which is used strictly to remember your preferred visual display mode (theme: 'light' or theme: 'dark'). No calculation numbers or income values are ever saved to local storage.

5. Zero Third-Party Advertising & Lead Generation

Unlike legacy financial calculators, Paycheck Calculator AI is not a lead-generation funnel. We do not sell, rent, license, or share user data with insurance brokers, financial advisors, mortgage lenders, or marketing aggregators.

6. Server Log Information

Like all web servers hosting static content, our hosting infrastructure may temporarily process standard technical request metadata (such as IP address, browser user-agent, and requested page URL) solely for the technical purpose of delivering web assets and mitigating DDoS attacks. This standard network data is never linked to any calculator inputs.
