Terms of Service

Last updated: October 2026

Your use of taxmetra.com (the "Site") is governed by the terms below. By continuing to use the Site you agree to them.

The tool this page covers is TaxMetra, an income tax and take-home pay calculator. Put simply, it estimates income tax and net pay for the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Germany, showing brackets, deductions, refund and per-paycheck net, and the way it does so is this: it applies each country's progressive brackets to taxable income after the standard deduction, then divides the annual figure by the number of pay periods, which is why the per-paycheck number changes when you change the pay frequency. Everything stated here applies to that tool and the values it handles, and to nothing else.

In day-to-day use the tool works only from the income and filing details you enter, and it is usually opened for things like checking take-home pay after a raise. None of that reaches us, so none of it can be stored.

What the Site is

TaxMetra offers an income tax and take-home pay calculator, free to use, together with supporting explanations. Every result is an estimate computed from what you supply, following the method set out on the page itself. Financial results depend on assumptions about rates, contributions and taxes that will not hold exactly, and are illustrative rather than advice.

No advice relationship

Nothing here forms a client, advisory or fiduciary relationship. The Site is a tool, and how you act on its output is a matter for you.

Limits on our liability

As far as the law permits, we exclude liability for indirect or consequential loss and for any decision taken in reliance on a result from the Site.

Which law applies

These terms are subject to the laws of the Site operator's jurisdiction, and conflict-of-law provisions do not override that.

Money-related limitations

Anything money-related rests on simplified assumptions and is provided for illustration. It is not advice, it will not match reality exactly, and a licensed adviser should be consulted before a decision is taken on it.

Accuracy of results

Correctness is a goal, not a warranty: results may contain errors and the content may lag changes in the field. Where the underlying method has a margin of error, read the output accordingly.

What you may and may not do

You may use the Site for personal and professional purposes. You may not attempt to disrupt it, scrape it at a rate that degrades service for others, present it as your own, or use it for anything unlawful.

Content ownership and license

Ownership of the Site's design, text and code rests with us or our licensors. You are free to link to any page, but reproducing substantial content requires permission in writing.

Advertising and third-party links

The Site is supported by advertising and may link to external resources. We do not control third-party content and are not responsible for it. Advertising never influences a result.

Availability

The Site comes as it is, with no uptime guarantee. Tools and pages may be changed, suspended or withdrawn at any time.

Asking about these terms

For any question about these terms, write to us via the contact page.
