What we don’t collect
PayoutMath does not:
- Have user accounts or sign-ups
- Sell or share visitor data with anyone outside the services listed below
- Set any analytics cookies unless you click Accept on the cookie banner
Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how pages are used in aggregate. GA4 operates under Google Consent Mode v2: analytics cookies are not set until you click Accept on the cookie banner. If you decline or ignore the banner, no analytics cookies are placed and no data is sent to Google. If you accept, GA4 measures page views, session length, and similar aggregate statistics — no personal information is stored. Full detail is on our cookie policy.
When you load any page, your browser also makes a request to Cloudflare’s servers (which serve this site). Cloudflare temporarily logs the request, including your IP address, as part of normal web hosting and DDoS protection. These logs are kept for a short period and then deleted. We do not have access to these logs.
Calculator inputs
Every calculator on this site runs entirely in your browser. The numbers you enter — your income, expenses, tax band, etc. — never leave your device, are never sent to us, and are never sent to Google Analytics. Nothing is stored anywhere we can see.
If you reload the page, your inputs reset. We deliberately do not save them, even locally, to keep the privacy promise simple.
Affiliate links
Some calculator pages carry Amazon Associates and CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction) links, clearly labelled and disclosed on our affiliate disclosure page. If you click through and buy something, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you — the retailer, not PayoutMath, sets any cookie involved. See our cookie policy for detail.
Outbound links
Calculator pages also link to:
- Official source pages (HMRC, GOV.UK, platform fee documentation) — these are needed for trust and so you can verify the maths
- Related calculators on this site
If you click an outbound link, the destination site has its own privacy policy and may set its own cookies. We have no control over what happens after you leave PayoutMath.
If you email hello@payoutmath.co.uk, your email is delivered via Cloudflare Email Routing to a personal mailbox. We don’t add you to any list, and there is no list to be added to.
Children
This site contains tax and financial information aimed at adults. We don’t knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children. Some calculators (e.g. OnlyFans tax) cover topics that aren’t appropriate for under-18s; that’s the only meaningful age consideration.
Changes
This policy may be updated occasionally — for example if we add new analytics or new third-party services. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent change. Any change will be reasonably visible on the site.
