Overview
This Privacy Policy explains what information US Tax Calculator 2026 handles, what it does not handle, and why. The short version: the calculators on this site run entirely in your browser, and the financial figures you enter are never transmitted to us or to any server we control.
Data You Enter
Wages, self-employment income, capital gains, filing status, and every other value you type into a calculator are processed locally on your device by JavaScript running in your own browser tab. These figures are never sent over the network to us, never written to a database, and never seen by our team. Closing or refreshing the page discards them unless you have exported a record yourself.
Browser Storage
The site uses your browser's sessionStorage and localStorage only for interface preferences — such as your language choice — and for a dismissal timestamp so a notice you have closed does not reappear. Saved tax records live only in the current browser session and are deleted when you refresh or close the page, unless you export them first. We cannot access this storage remotely; it resides entirely on your device.
File Exports
When you download a JSON record of a calculation, the file is generated in your browser and saved directly to your device. The export does not pass through our servers, and uploading a previously exported file is likewise processed locally.
Third-Party Services
We use Google AdSense to display advertising, which keeps the tools free. Google may use cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure ads, including personalized ads where permitted. You can learn how Google uses information from partner sites and manage your choices at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
The jsDelivr content delivery network delivers the open-source charting library used on the comparison tab; like any CDN, it may see standard technical request data such as your IP address when the file is fetched.
No Accounts, No Tracking Pixels of Our Own
The site has no account system, no registration, and no login. We operate no analytics or tracking pixels of our own, and we do not maintain profiles of visitors.
Children's Privacy
This site is a tax reference tool intended for adults and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and the design of the site — with no accounts and local-only data — means no personal information is gathered at all.
Changes to This Policy
If we change this policy, the revised version will be posted on this page with an updated date. Material changes will be summarized at the top of the page for a reasonable period.
