Privacy Policy

CountYourTax ("we", "us", "the Service") provides free tax and salary calculators for India, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you use the Service, how it is used, and the choices available to you.

Every calculator on this site runs entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Numbers you enter — income, salary, deductions, rent, and every other figure — are used only to compute results on your device and are never transmitted to, stored on, or logged by our servers. We have no record of what you calculate.

The Service itself does not set tracking cookies. Your browser may use local storage for basic functional purposes (such as remembering a UI preference), which stays on your device and is never transmitted to us.

We use Google Analytics, which sets first-party cookies (named _ga and_ga_*) to count visits; see the Analytics section below. If you appear to be in the UK, the European Economic Area or Switzerland, these cookies are only set after you choose “Accept” in the cookie banner, and you can change your choice at any time with “Cookie settings” in the footer. Third-party advertising providers, where enabled, may set their own cookies or similar technologies in your browser, subject to their own privacy policies.

We may display advertisements served by Google AdSense and other third-party ad networks. These providers may use cookies, device identifiers, or similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or, for participating providers generally, at www.aboutads.info/choices. For more detail on how Google uses data when you use our site, see How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

We use two analytics services. Neither ever receives your calculator inputs.

Google Analytics 4 helps us see which pages people visit and how they find us. We send it the page address with any query string removed, the page title, and the standard information your browser shares (approximate location, device, browser and referring site). Google signals, ad personalisation and advertising features are turned off, and data is kept for 14 months. Google Analytics uses the cookies described above. In the UK, the EEA and Switzerland, analytics storage is off until you accept. You can also opt out with Google's browser add-on.

We also use Vercel Web Analytics to understand aggregate traffic, such as which calculators are used most. It does not use cookies. For each page view it records the page address (with any query string removed, so no calculator inputs), the referring site, your approximate country, and your device type, browser and operating system. Visitors are counted using a hash of request data that is discarded every 24 hours, so it cannot be used to track you across days or across other websites.

Shared links are the one exception to keeping inputs on your device. When you press “Copy link”, “Share” or “WhatsApp”, your inputs are written into the link so the recipient sees the same calculation. Whoever opens such a link requests that full address from our hosting provider, which, like any web host, may keep it in standard request logs for a limited time. We do not use those logs to look at calculations.

Your calculator inputs are never included in analytics. For more detail, see how Google uses information from sites that use its services and Vercel's Web Analytics privacy policy.

This Service is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Because we don't collect or store your calculator inputs, there is no personal calculation data for us to access, correct, or delete. For advertising-related choices, see the AdSense section above. You can also control cookies generally through your browser settings.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page, with the "Last updated" date revised accordingly.
