1. Information We Collect
USTakeHome.com is a free salary calculator tool. We are designed to require no account, no signup, and no submission of personally identifiable financial information to use our calculators. However, we do collect limited information automatically and through third-party services:
Information you provide
When you use our salary calculator or state comparison tool, you may enter figures such as gross salary, state, filing status, and retirement contribution percentage. This data is processed entirely in your browser — it is not transmitted to, stored on, or saved by our servers. Once you close or refresh the page, this information is gone.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, we automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, including:
- IP address (used for general geographic and security purposes, not stored long-term by us)
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages visited, time spent on page, and referring website
- General location (city/region level, derived from IP address)
2. How We Use Information
We use the automatically collected information described above to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the functionality of our calculators and website
- Understand how visitors use our site, so we can improve content and tools
- Detect, prevent, and address technical issues or abuse
- Serve relevant advertising through our advertising partners (see Section 4)
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use the salary figures you enter into our calculators for any purpose beyond displaying your results to you in real time.
3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons and local storage) to operate our site and to support advertising and analytics. Cookies are small text files stored on your device.
| Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Essential cookies | Required for basic site functionality (e.g., remembering your selected pay frequency during a session) |
| Analytics cookies | Help us understand site traffic and usage patterns (e.g., Google Analytics) |
| Advertising cookies | Used by our ad partners to deliver relevant ads and measure ad performance |
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some site functionality, though our core calculators will still work since they run locally in your browser.
4. Advertising & Third-Party Vendors
USTakeHome.com is supported by display advertising. We work with third-party advertising partners, which may include Google AdSense, Ezoic, and similar ad networks. These partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.
Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
Third-party vendors, including Google, may show our ads on sites across the internet. We and our vendors use first-party cookies (such as Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) together to inform, optimize, and serve ads based on your past visits to our website.
5. Analytics
We use analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to help us understand how visitors engage with our site. These services collect information such as how often users visit the site, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to this site. We use this information only to improve our site and tools. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit this site, rather than your name or other identifying information.
You can learn more about how Google collects and processes data by visiting How Google uses information from sites that use our services.
6. Data Sharing & Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We may share automatically collected, non-identifying information with:
- Service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as hosting and analytics
- Advertising partners, as described in Section 4
- Legal authorities, if required to comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request
7. Your Choices & Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict use of your data, and the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (where applicable under laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act).
Because our calculators process your salary inputs entirely in your browser without transmitting or storing them on our servers, there is generally no personal financial data for us to access, correct, or delete on your behalf. For questions about data collected via cookies or analytics, see Section 3 and 5 above, or contact us using the details in Section 11.
8. Children’s Privacy
USTakeHome.com is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
9. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to help protect information from loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
