Welcome to Taxly ("the Service"). By accessing or using the Service you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
Use of the Service
The Service is provided for general informational and financial planning purposes. Any calculator result is provided for convenience only and does not constitute professional financial, tax, accounting or legal advice. You are responsible for verifying any figure before acting on it and should consult a qualified professional for advice specific to your circumstances.
Acceptable use
You agree not to (a) violate any law or regulation, (b) infringe the rights of others, (c) attempt to disrupt, overload, or reverse-engineer the Service, or (d) misrepresent outputs as authoritative or factual where they are not.
Intellectual property
The Service's design, code, and editorial content are owned by the operator. Calculator results are free to use without attribution.
Disclaimer of warranties
The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for any particular purpose. We make reasonable efforts to keep calculations accurate and up to date based on published HMRC rates for the selected tax year.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the operator is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss arising from use of, or reliance on, the Service.
Changes
We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
Privacy notice
This privacy notice explains what information we collect when you use the Service and how we handle it, in line with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Information we collect
Usage data: aggregated analytics such as pages viewed and approximate region, used only to understand how the Service is used.
Technical data: browser type, device type, and referrer, logged by our hosting provider for security and reliability.
Advertising data: if advertising cookies are accepted, our advertising partners (e.g. Google AdSense) may collect data to personalise ads. See the cookie policy below.
The Service is designed to be used without an account. Calculator inputs are processed in your browser and are not transmitted to us.
Legal bases (GDPR)
Consent — for non-essential cookies including analytics and advertising.
Legitimate interests — for essential operation, security, and fraud prevention.
Your rights
Under the UK GDPR you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to processing of your personal data, and the right to data portability. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing your cookies and revisiting the Service to make a new choice. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk) or your local supervisory authority.
Data retention
Aggregated, non-identifying analytics may be retained for up to 26 months. Server logs are typically retained for up to 30 days. Advertising partners apply their own retention policies.
International transfers
Where data is transferred outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area, appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) are used to protect your information.

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your browser. We use cookies and similar technologies (including local storage) to operate the Service, remember your preferences, measure usage, and — with your consent — deliver advertising.

Managing your choices
When you first visit, a banner asks you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time by clearing site data in your browser and revisiting the Service. Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies via their settings.
Third-party cookies
Where third-party services (for example, advertising or analytics) set cookies, they act as independent data controllers. Please refer to their policies for details on how they process your data.
Your GDPR rights
You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, and to data portability. You may withdraw cookie consent at any time.
