Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

The Take-Home ("we", "this site") provides free UK pay and benefits calculators. This policy explains what data is and isn't collected when you use the site.

Calculator inputs stay on your device

The figures you enter into our calculators — salary, age, childcare costs and so on — are processed entirely in your browser. They are never transmitted to us, stored on a server, or shared with anyone. Closing the page discards them.

Advertising and cookies

This site displays advertising served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Specifically:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
• You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of a range of third-party vendors' cookies at www.aboutads.info.

For more on how Google uses data from sites that use its services, see policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting, aggregate analytics to understand which calculators are used most. This does not identify you personally.

Consent (UK & EEA visitors)

Where required by UK GDPR and the ePrivacy rules, you will be shown a consent message before advertising cookies are set, and you can decline or change your choice at any time.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have rights of access, rectification and erasure over any personal data a controller holds about you. Because this site does not collect or store your personal data itself, such requests generally apply to the advertising providers listed above, but you can also contact us with any privacy question.

Not financial advice

All calculators and content on this site are for general guidance only and do not constitute financial, tax or legal advice. Figures are based on published HMRC and DWP rates but your personal circumstances may differ — for decisions that matter, consult a qualified adviser.
