Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Income Tax Calculator Australia (2026-27) - Take Home Pay + Medicare + HECS, accessible at www.income-tax-calculator.com.au. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect (and what we do not collect) when you use our income tax calculator.

By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. Personal Information We Collect

We do not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information. Our income tax calculator runs entirely in your browser — all income figures and tax details you enter are processed locally on your device and are never sent to our servers.

We do not require you to create an account, log in, or provide any personal details to use this service.

3. Analytics

We use Umami, a privacy-focused analytics platform, to understand how visitors use our website. Umami does not use cookies, does not collect personally identifiable information, and does not track users across different websites. The data collected is limited to aggregate, anonymised usage statistics such as page views, referrer information, and anonymous feature-usage events (for example, that a calculator input was changed or an FAQ item was opened). These events never include the income figures, deductions, or other financial details you enter.

4. Cookies

We do not set our own cookies for tracking purposes. Our analytics solution (Umami) is cookieless by design. Your browser may store technical data (such as cached assets) as part of normal website operation, but this is not used to identify you.

However, third-party advertising services, including Google AdSense, may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver, measure, and personalise advertisements shown on this website. See the “Advertising” section below for details and how to opt out.

5. Advertising

We may display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies, web beacons, device identifiers, and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or 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. Ads may be personalised or non-personalised.

In the course of serving ads, these vendors may collect and process information such as your IP address, approximate location, browser and device characteristics, and the pages you visit. This information is used to deliver and measure advertising, provide personalisation (where you have consented), and detect fraud and abuse. For details of how Google processes this data, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info. Other authorised third-party vendors and ad networks may also use cookies to serve ads on this site; where personalised ads are shown, the ad technology providers involved, together with links to their privacy policies, are listed in the consent message displayed on your first visit and can be reviewed or changed there at any time.

The presence of advertising does not change how the calculator works: all income figures and tax details you enter are still processed locally in your browser and are never sent to Google, our servers, or any advertising partner.

6. Third-Party Services

Our website is hosted and delivered using the following third-party infrastructure providers:

• Vercel — hosting and serverless infrastructure.
• Cloudflare — DNS and network security.
• Google AdSense — advertising services (see the “Advertising” section above).

These providers have their own privacy policies governing how they handle data.

7. Data Security

Because we do not collect or store your personal information on our servers, there is no personal data of yours at risk from a server-side breach. All calculator inputs remain on your device and are discarded when you leave or refresh the page.

8. Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to external sites (such as the ATO website). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
