Oregon Paycheck
Privacy

Your data stays on your device

The core promise of this site: the calculator never sees your salary. Here’s exactly what we collect, and what we don’t.

The short version

What we never do

We do not collect, store, or transmit anything you type into the calculator. Your salary, filing status, allowances, and region are processed by JavaScript running in your browser and never leave your device. There is no login, no account, and no server-side calculation.

What the site uses

This site runs on static pages served by a content delivery network. The hosting provider may keep standard access logs — IP address, user agent, pages requested, and timestamps — for security and performance purposes, as every web host does. These logs are not tied to anything you type into the calculator.

Cookies and analytics

The site does not use advertising cookies or cross-site trackers. If privacy-respecting, cookieless analytics are enabled, they measure aggregate page views only and do not identify individuals. You can block analytics at any time with a browser extension or by disabling JavaScript; the calculator itself requires JavaScript, but the articles remain fully readable.

Links to other sites

Articles link to official sources such as the Oregon Department of Revenue, the Oregon Employment Department, the IRS, Metro, and Multnomah County. This privacy policy applies only to this site; once you follow a link, that site’s policy governs.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published on this page with a new date. Contact us via the contact page with any questions.
