Last updated: 25 July 2026. This Privacy Policy explains how Pay Calculator Australia (“we”, “us”, “our”) handles information when you visit australiapaycalculator.net. We built this calculator to work without collecting personal information, and this policy sets out what limited data is collected and why.
Information you enter into the calculator
The pay and income details you enter are processed in your browser to generate a result. We do not transmit, log or store the figures you type into the calculator on our servers, and we don’t ask for your name, date of birth or any other identifying information to use the tool.
Salary submission form
If you choose to submit your salary through our anonymous submission form, we collect only your job title, industry, state, years of experience, employment type and total package. We do not collect your name, email address or employer, and submissions cannot be linked back to you.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting provider and any analytics tools we use may automatically collect standard technical information when you visit, such as browser type, device type, approximate location derived from IP address, pages viewed and the date and time of your visit. This information is used only to keep the site secure, fix bugs and understand how the site is used overall.
Cookies
We use cookies for essential site functionality and, where enabled, analytics and advertising. See our Cookie Policy for full details on the cookies we use and how to manage them.
Advertising
This site may display advertising through third-party networks such as Google AdSense. These networks may use cookies or similar technology to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can manage ad personalisation through Google’s Ads Settings.
Third-party links
Our site links to external resources, including the Australian Taxation Office and the Fair Work Ombudsman. We aren’t responsible for the privacy practices of external sites, and we encourage you to review their policies separately.
How we protect information
We use industry-standard security measures such as HTTPS encryption to protect the site. Because the calculator doesn’t store your income details, there is no personal financial data sitting on our servers to be exposed.
Children’s privacy
This site is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16 years of age.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the site or the law. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new “last updated” date.
Your rights
Because the calculator itself doesn’t collect or store your income details, there is very little personal data for us to hold. Where we do collect limited information, such as anonymous salary submissions or standard technical logs, you can contact us at any time to ask what is held and request that it be corrected or removed where technically possible. If you are in the European Economic Area or another jurisdiction with specific data protection laws, you may have additional rights under those laws, and we will respond to reasonable requests in line with them.
Data retention
Anonymous salary benchmark submissions are kept indefinitely in aggregated form since they cannot be linked back to any individual. Standard technical logs collected by our hosting provider are retained only for as long as needed to keep the site secure and functioning, and are routinely cleared after that. We do not keep a database of the income figures you enter into the calculator, because those figures are never sent to our servers in the first place.
