Effective Date: November 1, 2026

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using WageTakeHome (the "Website"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, please discontinue using the Website immediately.

2. Educational & Estimation Nature of the Service

WageTakeHome is provided strictly as a **free educational and planning utility**. The calculations generated by our tools are mathematical estimates based on published government guidance (such as IRS Publication 15-T and state withholding schedules).

  • The Website does **not** process live payroll, disburse funds, file official tax returns, or certify paycheck amounts.
  • The Website does **not** provide formal legal, accounting, tax, or investment advice.
  • Your use of the Website does not create a CPA-client, attorney-client, or fiduciary relationship of any kind.

3. Intellectual Property Rights

All original text, interactive calculator code, CSS design tokens, custom SVG icons, graphics, and architectural designs on the Website are the intellectual property of WageTakeHome and are protected by United States and international copyright and intellectual property laws.

You are granted a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the calculators and view the editorial guides for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not scrape, frame, mirror, reverse-engineer, or reproduce the calculation engine without prior written authorization.

4. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE WEBSITE AND ALL TOOLS, CONTENT, AND ESTIMATES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, WAGETAKEHOME DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

While we strive for high precision and audit our data models against official primary sources, we do not warrant that calculations will be error-free, uninterrupted, or identical to your employer's proprietary payroll software.

5. Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL WAGETAKEHOME, ITS OPERATORS, AUTHORS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE WEBSITE OR ITS CALCULATIONS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
