Privacy Policy
Last updated: 20 September 2026
Pay Calculator Australia (“we”, “us”, “this site”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you use this website and how we use it.
The calculators do not store your data
Our pay, tax and salary calculators run entirely in your browser. When you type in your income or adjust the settings, that information is processed on your own device and is never sent to our servers or saved anywhere. We do not know what salary you entered, and we cannot see or recover it. You can close the page and nothing you typed is kept.
Information we may collect
Like most websites, we automatically collect some general information when you visit, through our hosting provider and analytics tools. This can include:
- Your approximate location (based on IP address), browser type and device type
- The pages you visit and how long you spend on them
- The site or search engine that referred you to us
This information is used only to understand how the site is used and to improve it. It is not linked to your name or used to identify you personally.
Cookies
This site may use cookies, small files stored on your device, for analytics and to serve advertising through Google AdSense. Cookies help us understand site traffic and allow advertising partners to show relevant ads. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some site features may not work as well if you do.
Google AdSense and advertising
We use Google AdSense to display advertising on this site. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can learn more about how Google uses data and manage your ad preferences at Google’s Ads Settings page and Google’s Privacy & Terms site.
Analytics
We may use tools such as Google Analytics to understand visitor numbers and behaviour on the site. These tools collect general, non-identifying usage data as described above.
Contact form and enquiries
If you contact us through our Contact page, we collect the name, email address and message you provide, solely to respond to your enquiry. We do not use this information for marketing and do not share it with third parties, other than services we use to operate this site (such as our email provider).
Third-party links
This site links to external sources, including the Australian Taxation Office, Fair Work Ombudsman and the Australian Bureau of Statistics, for reference. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites. Please review their own privacy policies before providing any information to them.
Data security
We take reasonable steps to protect the limited information we do collect, but no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your rights
If you are an Australian resident, the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles may give you rights over any personal information we hold about you, such as the right to ask what we hold and to request a correction. Since we do not store the figures you enter into our calculators, and we collect only limited contact information when you reach out to us, there is generally very little personal data held. If you have a question about your data or wish to make a request, contact us using the details on our Contact page.
Children’s privacy
This site is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. The “last updated” date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, contact us at hello@paycalculatorsaustralia.com or via our Contact page.
This Privacy Policy is general in nature and does not constitute legal advice. If you have specific concerns about privacy law compliance, consider seeking advice from a qualified professional.
