Privacy Policy

This page explains what happens with your data when you use Tax Calculator Philippines. In short: your salary is never sent to a server, we don't require an account, and we collect only minimal, anonymous technical data to keep the site running and improve it over time.

The calculator runs entirely in your browser

Every calculation on this site (your monthly salary, SSS/PhilHealth/Pag-IBIG contributions, income tax, and net pay) is computed with JavaScript running locally in your own web browser. Nothing you type into a calculator field is transmitted to our servers, stored in a database, or seen by us in any form. If you close the tab, that data is gone, unless you've explicitly used the "Copy link with result" feature, which only encodes the number you entered into the URL itself.

What we do collect

Like most websites, we collect a small amount of anonymous, aggregate technical data to understand how the site is used and to keep it reliable:

Basic web analytics (page views, referring site, device type, approximate country): aggregated and anonymized, not tied to an individual identity.
Optional feedback: if you use the feedback form on a page, your message is sent to us, but it is not linked to your email, account, or any other identifying information (we don't ask for any).
Standard server logs (IP address, browser type, timestamp) kept briefly for security and abuse-prevention purposes, as is standard practice for any website.

What we do NOT collect

We do not require you to create an account, log in, or provide your name, email address, or any salary/financial information to us directly. We do not sell your data to third parties; we don't have any personal data to sell in the first place, since the calculator never transmits your inputs.

Cookies and local storage

This site may use your browser's local storage (not a tracking cookie) to remember your last calculator input on your own device, purely as a convenience so you don't have to re-type it on your next visit. This data stays on your device and is never transmitted to us. You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser's site data, or by using the "Reset" button on the calculator.

Third-party links

This site links to official government resources (such as bir.gov.ph, sss.gov.ph, philhealth.gov.ph, and pagibigfund.gov.ph) for verification purposes. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those external sites, so please review their own privacy policies if you visit them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in how the site operates. Any changes will be posted on this page.

If you have questions about this privacy policy, you can reach us using the feedback link at the bottom of any page on this site.

How to clear your data

Since this calculator never sends your data to a server, there is no account to delete and no server-side record to request removal of. If you want to clear the small amount of data stored locally in your own browser (your last calculator input, saved purely as a convenience), you have two options:

Click the "Reset" button on any calculator on this site: it clears the saved input for that specific tool immediately.
Clear your browser's site data for taxcalculatorphilippines.xyz through your browser's own settings (usually under Privacy or Site Settings); this removes everything stored locally for this site, not just the calculator input.

Children's privacy

This site is a general-purpose financial calculator intended for adult users managing their own compensation and taxes. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect any information from children.

No financial or legal advice

This site and its calculators provide estimates for informational purposes only, based on publicly available BIR tax tables and government contribution rates. Nothing on this site constitutes professional tax, legal, accounting, or financial advice, and it should not be relied upon as a substitute for consulting a qualified professional or the official BIR, SSS, PhilHealth, or Pag-IBIG channels for your specific situation. We make reasonable efforts to keep the underlying figures current (see the "Updated" date shown next to each result), but tax laws and contribution rates can change, and this site is not an official government resource.

Frequently asked questions

Is my salary information stored anywhere?

No. The calculator runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript, so your salary and every other number you enter stays on your own device and is never sent to a server or stored in a database.

Do I need to create an account to use this calculator?

No. There is no signup, no login, and no account of any kind: the calculator is free and open to use immediately.

Does this site use tracking cookies?

No third-party advertising or tracking cookies are used. The site may use your browser's local storage to remember your last input as a convenience, purely on your own device.

Is this an official government website?

No. Tax Calculator Philippines is an independent, free tool. For official information, always verify with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (bir.gov.ph), Social Security System (sss.gov.ph), PhilHealth (philhealth.gov.ph), or Pag-IBIG Fund (pagibigfund.gov.ph).

Can I request that my feedback message be deleted?

Yes. Since feedback messages are not linked to any account or email by default, include a way to identify your specific message (e.g. a rough timestamp and what it said) when you contact us, and we will remove it.
