Privacy Policy

At US Paycheck Calculator (accessible from uspaychecker.com), your privacy is our absolute priority. This document outlines the types of information we process and why our calculator is built to be private by design.

1. 100% Client-Side Processing (Zero Data Collection)

Unlike traditional payroll tools that send your financial information to a backend server, US Paycheck Calculator runs entirely in your local web browser.

• Your gross wages, salary numbers, hourly rates, state selections, and voluntary benefits never leave your device.
• We do not host databases, collect inputs, or log your personal salary profile.
• All computational code executes client-side reactively as you type.

2. Cookies and Tracking

We do not use tracking cookies, marketing cookies, or user profiling tools on this website.

We utilize browser localStorage solely to persist your local user preferences, specifically your preferred visual theme (Light Mode vs. Dark Mode). This data is stored strictly on your own device and is never sent to our servers.

3. Security

Since we do not collect or transmit any of your personal financial details, there is no database or server storage containing your records that could be compromised. We enforce HTTPS encryption to deliver the website code securely to your browser.

4. Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to external sites (like IRS publications or state tax department guides). We have no control over the content and privacy practices of these external resources and recommend reviewing their respective privacy policies.
