Your Privacy Is Our Priority
At PhilippineTaxCalculator.ph, your privacy is our top priority. We've designed this tool to be completely transparent and secure regarding your personal and financial information.
Data Handling & Privacy
Does this website store any of my calculation data? No. Your salary/financial inputs exist only temporarily in your browser and are lost when you close or refresh the page. The calculator does not use localStorage or sessionStorage, and never transmits your inputs anywhere.
What about cookies? We use a consent cookie (remembers your Accept/Reject choice), Google Analytics cookies (anonymized traffic statistics), and advertising cookies set by Google AdSense and its partners. See the "Use of Google Analytics" and "Use of Google AdSense / Advertising" sections below.
What kind of user information is kept? None of your calculation data. The only data collected is anonymized traffic statistics via Google Analytics, and only with your consent.
Your calculation inputs are never stored, saved, or transmitted — they exist only temporarily during your current browser session.
How Your Information Is Handled:
- Data Input: You enter salary, allowances, and financial details into form fields.
- Data Processing: Calculations happen entirely in your browser using JavaScript.
- Data Storage: Your calculation inputs are never saved — no localStorage, no server logs, no database. Cookies used are: a consent cookie, Google Analytics cookies, and Google AdSense advertising cookies (see the relevant sections below).
- Data Transmission: Your calculation inputs are never sent to any server. Anonymized traffic stats are sent to Google Analytics only if you consent.
- Privacy: Your financial details remain 100% private and never exposed.
How the App Works Without Storing Data
Our application functions like a digital spreadsheet in your browser — a static, client-side calculator:
- You input numbers (e.g., salary).
- JavaScript instantly reads those values and performs calculations locally.
- Results display immediately on your screen.
- Refreshing the page resets all inputs and clears data.
All features run locally: PDF export, chart display, and frequency toggles require no data persistence.

Use of Google Analytics
PhilippineTaxCalculator.ph uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it.
- Google Analytics collects anonymized usage data (page views, browser/device type) via cookies.
- IP anonymization is enabled, and your calculation inputs/results are never collected — the calculator runs entirely in your browser.
- You can decline analytics via the cookie banner (Reject), or manage cookies through your browser settings.
Use of Google AdSense / Advertising
This website displays advertisements through Google AdSense. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet. Your calculation inputs are never shared with advertisers — advertising cookies relate only to browsing activity, not your calculator data.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet.
- You may opt out of Google's personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings: https://www.google.com/settings/ads.
- For more information about how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps, see How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
User Consent and Data Subject Rights (GDPR/CCPA)
Cookie Consent
The site shows a cookie-consent banner on first visit. Google Analytics runs (with IP anonymization) only if you click Accept; if you click Reject, no analytics cookies are set. The calculator itself uses no localStorage/sessionStorage and sends no data anywhere.
Your Data Rights
If you are located in jurisdictions with data protection laws like GDPR or CCPA, you have certain rights regarding your personal data, including but not limited to:
- The right to access your data.
- The right to request correction or deletion of your data.
- The right to object to or restrict certain processing activities.
- The right to data portability.
- The right to withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
- The right to opt out of the sale of personal information (CCPA).
To exercise these rights related to data collected by third parties (like Google), please contact those providers directly, e.g., Google’s Privacy Tools or support.
Data Security and Retention
PhilippineTaxCalculator.ph does not retain any personal data directly and stores no user data. Third-party providers have their own data retention and security policies that you can review through their privacy statements.
Clarification on Cookies and Data Storage
Our calculator tool itself does not use cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage, or any form of data storage or tracking. All calculations happen locally in your browser with no data sent to our servers.
