Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 9, 2026

This policy explains how actualpaycheck.com ("ActualPaycheck", "we") handles information. The site is operated by ActualPaycheck.

Calculator inputs stay on your device

The salary, state, filing status and other values you enter are processed entirely in your browser. They are not sent to or stored on our servers. If you share a link that contains values in the address, those values are visible to whoever you share it with.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our hosting and security provider (Cloudflare) processes standard request data such as IP address, browser type and pages requested, in order to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. We do not use this data to identify you.

Advertising and cookies

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

You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings, or opt out of many third-party vendors' cookies at aboutads.info. To learn more, see how Google uses information from sites that use its services. Where required by law (for example, for visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland), consent is requested before personalized ads are shown.

Affiliate links

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Partners may use cookies to attribute the referral.

Your choices and rights

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Depending on where you live (for example, California), you may have rights to know about, delete, or opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. Because we don't collect personal information directly, most such data is held by the advertising providers above; you can use the links in this policy, or contact us and we will help.

Children

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

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
