Terms of use

Acceptance

By using raisecalculator.net you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site.

What the site provides

RaiseCalculator provides free calculators and written guides about pay raises, salary increases, payroll taxes and inflation. Everything on the site is general information intended for planning and education.

No professional advice

Nothing on this site is tax, legal, accounting, employment or financial advice, and no professional relationship is created by using it. Tax calculations are simplified estimates based on published federal rates, the standard deduction and, where available, flat state rates. They do not account for itemised deductions, tax credits, local income taxes, benefit elections, alternative minimum tax, or how your employer chooses to withhold. Your actual pay and tax will differ. Before making a decision that matters, consult a qualified professional.

Accuracy

We take care with the figures and cite the source and date for each one. Even so, the site is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose or uninterrupted availability. Tax rates, wage bases and inflation figures change, and there may be a delay before an update is reflected here.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, RaiseCalculator and its operators are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, this site — including decisions about employment, salary negotiation, tax planning or personal finances. You use the calculators at your own risk.

Acceptable use

You may use the site for personal and business purposes, and you may link to any page freely. You may not scrape the site at a rate that degrades it for others, attempt to interfere with its operation, or republish substantial portions of its content as your own.

Intellectual property

The text, design and code of this site are owned by its operators. Tax rates, statistical figures and other facts are not owned by anyone and are cited to their public sources. Brief quotation with attribution and a link is welcome.

Third-party links and advertising

The site links to external sources such as the IRS, the Social Security Administration and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and it carries display advertising. We do not control third-party sites or advertisements and are not responsible for their content or their practices.

Changes

These terms may be updated. The date at the top of the page shows when they last changed, and continued use of the site after a change means you accept the revised terms.
