Information we collect
Calculator inputs: Our tools run entirely in your browser. Income, expenses, balances, and other numbers you enter are not transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly share a URL containing query parameters.
Local storage: Tools may save your last-used inputs in your browser's local storage so you can return without re-entering data. You can clear this with the Reset button on any tool or by clearing site data in your browser settings.
