Privacy Policy

Last updated: 18 March 2026

Net Pay Calculator UK ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website net-pay-calculator.co.uk. This page explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our service.

Information We Collect

Our take-home pay calculator runs entirely in your browser. The salary, tax, and pension details you enter are processed locally on your device and are not sent to our servers.

We do not require you to create an account or provide any personal information to use the calculator.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage data, including:

  • Pages visited and time spent on site
  • General geographic location (country/city level)
  • Device type, browser, and operating system
  • Referring website or search terms

This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify you personally.

Cookies and Local Storage

We use the following technologies:

  • Local Storage: Your saved calculations may be stored in your browser's local storage so you can return to them later. This data never leaves your device.
  • Cookies: Third-party cookies may be set by Google Analytics and Google AdSense for analytics and advertising purposes.

You can clear local storage and cookies at any time through your browser settings.

Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.

Data Security

Since your calculator data stays in your browser and is not transmitted to our servers, there is minimal risk to your personal information. Our website is served over HTTPS to ensure secure communication.

Your Rights Under UK GDPR

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to:

  • Access any personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction or deletion of your data
  • Object to processing of your data
  • Withdraw consent at any time
  • Lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)

Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

External Links

Our site may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy policies.

Data Retention

We retain data as follows:

  • Local storage data: Stored in your browser until you clear it. We have no access to this data.
  • Analytics data: Retained according to Google Analytics' default retention policy (typically 26 months, anonymised).
  • Advertising data: Managed by Google AdSense according to their data retention policies.

Since we do not collect personal data directly, there is no personal data for us to delete from our servers.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
