This website is designed to be lightweight and informational. It does not require user account registration to access the calculators, and it does not ask users to upload tax returns, identification documents, or payment information in order to use the basic calculator pages.
Depending on how the site is accessed and delivered, the following categories of data may still be processed:
The tax calculators on this website are built as client-side tools. That means the values you enter into the calculator fields are intended to be processed in your browser to generate an on-page estimate.
The website itself is not designed as a personal account platform and does not present itself as storing user tax profiles, filing history, or identity-based records for calculator use.
However, ordinary technical processing can still occur at the hosting, browser, network, or third-party script level. For that reason, users should avoid entering highly sensitive personal information that is not needed for a simple estimate.
This website may use cookies and similar technologies for basic functionality, site delivery, security, and advertising. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser.
Cookies or similar technologies may be used to:
You can usually control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect how some advertising or site functions behave.
This website may display advertisements served by Google AdSense or related Google advertising technologies. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this site and/or other websites.
Depending on the user’s location, device, and ad settings, this may involve contextual advertising, personalised advertising, frequency controls, fraud prevention, and basic advertising measurement.
Google and other advertising partners may process information such as:
This website does not control all processing performed by third-party ad providers. Their own privacy policies and platform rules apply to the data they process through their technologies.
Where consent is required by applicable law for non-essential cookies or personalised advertising, the relevant legal basis should be user consent. For strictly necessary technical processing, the relevant legal basis may be legitimate interest in secure and reliable website operation.
Depending on your location and the specific type of processing, personal data may be processed on one or more of the following legal bases:
Data may be shared with service providers only to the extent reasonably necessary for operating the website. This can include:
This website does not claim to sell personally identifiable tax profiles or user-submitted calculator dossiers because the site is not built as a tax filing platform.
Some third-party providers may process data outside the country where the user is located. This can include transfers to countries with different data protection standards.
Where such transfers occur, they are generally governed by the provider’s own contractual, technical, or legal safeguards. Users should review the relevant third-party provider policies for further details.
Technical logs are generally retained only as long as reasonably necessary for security, diagnostics, legal compliance, and website maintenance.
Advertising and cookie-related retention periods depend largely on the relevant third-party provider and on your browser settings, consent choices, and cookie expiry periods.
Calculator values entered by users are not presented on this website as a long-term saved user account history.
Depending on your location, you may have rights including:

This website is intended for general informational use by adults and business users. It is not designed specifically for children, and it does not knowingly request that children provide personal tax or financial data through a registered account system.
If you believe a child has provided personal data in a way that creates a privacy concern, contact the website operator using the details above.
The calculators on this website are provided for general informational and educational purposes only. They are simplified estimates, not official calculations, not legal advice, not tax advice, and not a substitute for a qualified accountant, tax adviser, or official authority.
The estimates may be incomplete for your personal situation. Real outcomes can differ based on country, region, canton, municipality, business type, legal form, family situation, deductions, credits, health insurance arrangements, thresholds, changing laws, and many other factors.
By using this website, you acknowledge that:
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the website owner disclaims liability for losses, damages, claims, or costs arising from reliance on calculator outputs, simplified assumptions, outdated rules, user input mistakes, interpretation errors, or the absence of professional advice.
This disclaimer does not exclude liability where exclusion is not allowed by law, but it is intended to make clear that this website is an estimate tool, not an official filing service.
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the website, applicable law, advertising technology, site features, or operational practices.
The latest version should always be published on this page.

A privacy page on a tax-related website matters because users need clarity not only about cookies and advertising, but also about what the calculator is and what it is not. Self-Employed Tax Calculator Europe is built as a practical estimator for freelancers and self-employed workers across multiple European countries, which means transparency is essential. This Privacy Policy explains that the website is meant to work mainly as an informational calculator project rather than an account-based tax filing service. It also explains the role of third-party advertising, cookies, technical server logs, calculator inputs and data protection rights. That kind of clarity improves trust and helps users understand the boundaries of the service.
The second important part is user protection and operator protection at the same time. A calculator can be useful without pretending to be an official authority. That is why this page also makes clear that country-specific tax estimates are simplified and may not reflect every personal detail, deduction, region, or legal exception. For Google, for users, and for general site credibility, that is the right tone: transparent, informative, realistic and responsible. A strong privacy page should not only say “we use cookies.” It should explain how the site works, what third parties may do, what the user should expect, and why professional verification is still necessary before making important tax decisions.
