Privacy policy
The numbers you type never leave your device. Every calculation runs in your browser and no input is transmitted to or stored on any server we control. What is collected is analytics and advertising data by third parties, described in full below.
Your calculator inputs
All calculators here are client-side JavaScript. Your investment amounts, return assumptions, income, age and goals are processed entirely within your browser. We never receive them, cannot see them, and do not store them.
Two related points, for completeness:
- The "copy link" feature puts your inputs into a URL. That happens locally, but if you then share the link, whoever receives it sees those numbers. Do not share a link containing figures you would rather keep private.
- Your browser stores two small preferences locally — your theme choice and your
currency choice — using
localStorage. These stay on your device and are never transmitted. Clearing your site data removes them.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages are useful and which are not. It sets cookies and collects data including your approximate location (derived from IP, which GA4 does not store), device and browser type, referring site, pages viewed and time spent.
This is aggregate reporting. We do not attempt to identify individual visitors and there is no login or account on this site.
You can prevent it entirely with Google's Analytics opt-out add-on, a browser tracking blocker, or by declining cookies in your browser settings.
Advertising
This site carries third-party display advertising to cover its costs. Ad networks and their partners may set cookies or similar identifiers to measure performance and, where permitted, to show you more relevant advertising.
Current and prospective advertising partners include:
- Adsterra / HighPerformanceFormat and ProfitableRateCPM — the networks presently serving the banner and native units on this site.
- Google AdSense and DoubleClick — may serve advertising on this site. Google and its partners use cookies, including the DoubleClick cookie, to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
We do not control what these networks collect and we do not receive your personal data from them. You can manage Google's personalised advertising at My Ad Center and opt out of third-party vendor cookies at optout.aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.com.
Cookies used on this site
| Set by | Purpose | Type |
|---|---|---|
| This site | Theme and currency preference; whether you dismissed the cookie notice | localStorage, first-party, never transmitted |
| Google Analytics | Distinguishing visitors and sessions for aggregate reporting | Third-party analytics cookies |
| Ad networks | Ad delivery, frequency capping, measurement, and personalisation where permitted | Third-party advertising cookies |
Blocking all cookies will not break any calculator on this site. The tools work fully without them; you will simply lose the remembered theme and currency.
Your rights, and children
Because we hold no personal data about you, there is nothing for us to export, correct or delete. Requests relating to data held by Google or an advertising network need to go to that company; their privacy policies govern it.
If you are in the EU or UK, the lawful basis for analytics and advertising cookies is your consent, which you can withdraw at any time by clearing cookies or blocking them in your browser.
This site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from them.

Changes to this policy
If our advertising or analytics arrangements change, this page changes with them and the date at the top is updated. There is no mailing list, so it is worth re-reading if you care about the detail.
