Introduction
Welcome to IndiataxCalculator.net ("we", "our", or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose and safeguard your information when you visit our website at https://indiataxcalculator.net and use our free income tax and salary calculators.
Please read this policy carefully. If you disagree with its terms, please discontinue use of our site. We reserve the right to make changes to this policy at any time. We will alert you about any changes by updating the "Last updated" date above.
Information We Collect
Information You Enter in the Calculators
Our income tax calculator and salary calculator ask you to enter financial information such as your annual income, salary components, and deduction amounts. This information is processed entirely within your browser (client-side). It is never transmitted to our servers, never stored in any database, and never shared with any third party. When you close or refresh the browser tab, all entered data is permanently gone.
Automatically Collected Information
When you visit IndiataxCalculator.net, certain information is automatically collected by third-party services we use:
- Google Analytics (GA4): We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This collects anonymised data including pages visited, time spent on site, geographic location (country/city level), device type, and browser type. Google Analytics does not collect your financial data entered in the calculators. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Google AdSense: We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com.
- Cookies: Our site uses cookies primarily from Google Analytics and Google AdSense. These are standard browser cookies used for analytics and advertising purposes. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
How We Use Your Information
We use the automatically collected information to:
- Understand how our calculators are being used to improve their accuracy and usability
- Monitor site performance, traffic patterns and popular content
- Display relevant advertisements through Google AdSense
- Ensure the security and proper functioning of our website
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We do not use your calculator inputs for any purpose whatsoever as they are never transmitted to us.
Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising
We use Google AdSense to serve advertisements on our website. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites on the internet. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visits to our site and other sites on the Internet.
Users may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. Alternatively, users can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
Data Retention
Since we do not collect any personal financial data entered into our calculators, there is no such data for us to retain. Google Analytics data is retained for 26 months as per Google's standard settings. AdSense cookies follow Google's standard retention periods.
Children's Privacy
IndiataxCalculator.net is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at the email address below.
Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your information. Since all calculator computations happen locally in your browser and no financial data is transmitted to our servers, the risk of data breach is inherently minimal. Our website is served over HTTPS to ensure encrypted communication.

- Access information we hold about you (note: we hold no financial data from calculator usage)
- Opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the browser add-on
