What we collect

The calculator collects nothing. PAYE Calc SA does not ask for your name, ID number or any account, and the amounts you type are never sent anywhere. Every calculation happens on your own phone or computer. The only information we receive is what you choose to send through the feedback form.

The people-helped counter

The website shows a running total of how many people have used the calculator. The first time you use it on a device, the site sends a single "add one" signal to a counting service called Abacus (abacus.jasoncameron.dev) and reads the total back. That signal contains no amounts and nothing about you. A small marker is saved on your device so that you are only counted once.

Feedback form

If you send feedback, we receive the message you type and your email address if you choose to give one. It is stored by our web host, Netlify, and used only to read and answer your feedback. Do not include ID numbers, payslips or other personal details in a message.

Storage and tracking

The app keeps a copy of its own files on your device so that it opens without an internet connection, plus the counter marker described above. It uses no cookies, no advertising and no tracking of what you do.

Other services

The website loads its typefaces from Google Fonts and its counter total from Abacus, so those services receive the ordinary technical request (such as your IP address) that any website visit involves.

Who we are

PAYE Calc SA is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the South African Revenue Service (SARS) or any government body.
