Privacy and cookies

What this site does and does not do with your information. Short version: the calculators never see your figures, and nothing is stored about you.

Your salary never leaves your browser

This is the part worth saying first, because it is unusual and it is the thing people worry about. Every calculation on this site runs in your own browser. What you earn, your tax code, your pension, your student loan: none of it is sent to us, none of it is logged, and none of it is stored. We could not read it if we wanted to.

You can check that yourself. Open your browser's developer tools, go to the network tab, and open the take-home pay calculator or any other tool here. You will see no request carrying your figures, because there is no server here to send them to. The whole site is static files.

Cookies

Advertising

There is none. This site carries no advertising and sets no advertising cookies. If that changes, this page will change with it and you will be asked before any cookie is set.

What we do not use

No analytics. No Google Analytics, no tracking pixels, no session recording, no fingerprinting, no advertising cookies of our own. No accounts, so no passwords and no email lists.

Information handled by others

Two suppliers necessarily see technical information when you visit, in the same way they would for any website:

Neither receives anything you type into a calculator, because that never leaves your device.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you can ask what personal data an organisation holds about you, and ask for it to be corrected or deleted. In our case the honest answer is that we hold none: there are no accounts, no forms, no analytics and no database.

There is no advertising data, because there is no advertising. Technical logs are held by our suppliers under their own policies and are not used to identify anyone.

There is no contact address published here yet. If you need to reach someone about this site, that is a gap and it is being fixed.

Changes to this page

If this site starts doing something new with data, this page changes first, and you would be asked before anything was set. It was last updated on 16 July 2026.
