Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 8, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how PaycheckLedger ("we," "our," or "us") handles information when you visit paycheckcalculator2026.com (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.

1. What this site is

PaycheckLedger is a free calculator that estimates paycheck withholding and take-home pay. All figures you enter are estimates for your own planning purposes.

2. Information we collect

Calculator inputs: Salary, hours, deductions, filing status, and similar figures you type into the calculator are processed entirely in your browser. They are not transmitted to, or stored on, our servers.
Usage data (Google Analytics): We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site — pages viewed, approximate location (city/region level), device and browser type, and time spent on the Site. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect this information.
Advertising data (Google AdSense): This Site displays ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites, and to measure ad performance.
Log data: Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically collects standard technical information such as IP address, browser type, and access times through server logs.

3. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. This Site uses:

Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) to measure traffic and usage patterns.
Advertising cookies (Google AdSense and its partners) to serve and measure ads, including personalized advertising based on your browsing activity across sites.

You can block or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect how ads are personalized, but will not affect the calculator's core functionality, which runs locally in your browser.

4. Google AdSense & third-party advertising

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads on this Site based on your prior visits to this or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info.

5. Google Analytics opt-out

You can prevent Google Analytics from using your data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available for most major browsers.

6. How we use information

We use the data described above to: operate and maintain the Site, understand how visitors use the calculator so we can improve it, and support the display of relevant advertising that helps keep the Site free to use.

7. Data sharing

We do not sell your personal information. Aggregated, anonymized usage data may be visible to us through Google Analytics, and ad-related data is processed by Google and its advertising partners under their own privacy policies:

8. Children's privacy

This Site is not directed at children under 13, and 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 remove it.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example, under GDPR in the EU/UK or CCPA in California), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data collected about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. Because this Site does not maintain user accounts or store calculator inputs on our servers, most such requests would relate to analytics or advertising data held by Google — see Sections 4 and 5 above for how to control that directly.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
