What the Calculator Does (and Doesn't) Store
The salary calculator on this site runs entirely in your browser. The numbers you type — salary, filing status, deductions — are never sent to a server and never stored anywhere. When you close or refresh the page, your inputs are gone. No cookies are set by the calculator itself.
Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)
This site displays ads served by Google AdSense. To do this, Google may set cookies
in your browser that help personalize ads, measure how often ads are shown,
and track whether you clicked on an ad. These cookies are set by Google's domains
(e.g., doubleclick.net, googlesyndication.com),
not by this site directly.
The data Google collects through these cookies may include your general location, browsing behavior across sites that show Google ads, and device information. This data is used to show ads that are more relevant to you. No data entered into the calculator is passed to Google or any other advertiser.
Your Consent Choice
When you first visit this site, a banner asks whether you accept or reject cookies.
Your choice is saved in your browser's local storage under the key
cookie_consent as a timestamped record.
Rejecting does not break any site functionality — the calculator and all content
remain fully accessible. It signals your preference; ad personalization
may still occur based on Google's own consent mechanisms for your region.
Analytics
If analytics software is active on this site, it may set a lightweight first-party cookie to distinguish unique visits. This cookie contains no personal data and expires at the end of your browser session or within 30 days. Aggregate analytics data (page views, general location, device type) is used to understand site traffic — it is never sold or shared with third parties.
