Privacy Policy

The short version: there are no accounts and no sign-up. The calculators run in your browser, and we don't store what you type into them. The site shows ads from Google AdSense, which uses cookies.

Who we are

TakeHome (takehometools.com) is a free set of money calculators for freelancers, built and run by an independent web developer. If you have a question about this policy, email hello@takehometools.com.

What stays on your device

  • Everything you type into a calculator. The numbers are processed in your browser and never sent to us.
  • Your numbers in the page address. Each calculator puts your inputs in the address bar so you can bookmark or share a result. If you share that link, anyone who opens it sees those numbers.
  • Exchange rates. The calculators that use today's rates save them in your browser's local storage for up to an hour, so they don't have to download them again. You can clear it by clearing your browser's site data.
  • Your invoices. The invoice generator saves your details and your current invoice in your browser's local storage, so they're filled in next time. They're never uploaded to us. "Clear everything" in the invoice generator deletes them.

What we collect

  • Visitor statistics. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits. It doesn't use cookies or track you across other websites. We see totals like page views, which site sent visitors, their country, and device type. We can't identify you. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.
  • Technical data needed to run the site. Cloudflare hosts this site and handles technical information such as your IP address and browser type to deliver pages and protect the site from attacks.
  • Emails you send us. If you email us, we use your address and message only to reply, and delete them when they're no longer needed.

Other services the site connects to

To show today's rates, the Payoneer to bKash calculator, the Payoneer vs Wise vs PayPal comparison, the hourly rate calculator and the Pakistan tax calculator request them from ExchangeRate-API directly from your browser. Like any website you visit, that service receives your IP address. No calculator inputs are sent to it.

Cookies

We don't set any cookies ourselves. Two kinds of cookies may be set on this site:

  • Security: Cloudflare may set a strictly necessary cookie if it needs to check that a visitor isn't a bot. It isn't used for tracking or advertising.
  • Advertising: Google and its advertising partners use cookies and similar technologies to show ads, limit how often you see them, measure them, and prevent fraud. See "Advertising" below.

Advertising

From 4 November 2026, this site shows ads served by Google AdSense. Ads help keep the calculators free. We don't choose individual ads, and we never share what you type into a calculator with Google or anyone else.

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this website or other websites.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
  • You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google's My Ad Center (Ads Settings). You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info.
  • If you're in the European Economic Area, the UK or Switzerland, you'll see a consent message from Google before personalised ads or advertising cookies are used, and you can change your choice at any time.
  • Google explains how it uses information from sites that show its ads in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

The embeddable Fiverr calculator that other websites can add to their pages doesn't show ads.

Referral links

This site has no referral or affiliate links today. If we add any, we'll say so next to the link and update this policy first.

Children

This site is meant for working freelancers and isn't directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect information from children.

Your choices

We don't keep a profile of you, so there's nothing to download or delete apart from emails you've sent us. To control advertising cookies, use the consent message, Google's My Ad Center or your browser's cookie settings. To have those deleted, email hello@takehometools.com.

Changes to this policy

When we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page. For important changes, such as adding ads, we'll also put a notice on the home page.
