US Income Tax Calculator ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you visit our website and use our tax estimation tools.
Important: Our calculator provides estimates for informational purposes only. We do not provide tax advice, and calculations should not be used for tax filing purposes. Please consult a qualified tax professional for personalized advice.
We prioritize your privacy. Our tax calculator is designed to work entirely in your web browser. This means:
- No Personal Financial Data: Your income, deductions, filing status, and other financial information you enter into our calculator are never transmitted to or stored on our servers.
- No Account Required: You don't need to create an account or provide any personal identifying information to use our calculator.
- No Social Security Numbers: We never ask for or collect Social Security numbers or tax identification numbers.
- Calculations Are Local: All tax calculations are performed directly in your browser using JavaScript. Your data stays on your device.
While we don't collect your financial data, we may collect limited technical information:
- Analytics Data: We may use services like Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website. This includes anonymized data such as pages visited, time spent on site, browser type, device type, and general geographic location (country/region level).

These services have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review their policies if you have concerns about how they handle data.
You have the right to:

- Opt Out of Analytics: You can use browser extensions or settings to opt out of Google Analytics tracking.
- Use Private Browsing: You can use your browser's private/incognito mode when using our calculator.
We implement appropriate security measures to protect any information we collect. Our website uses HTTPS encryption to ensure secure communication between your browser and our servers.
Since your financial data never leaves your browser during calculations, there is minimal risk of your sensitive information being compromised through our service.
Our website is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
