Terms of use
By accessing or using SalarySteps, you agree to these Terms of Use and acknowledge that all calculator outputs are educational estimates, not professional tax, payroll, legal, or financial advice.
1. Educational Estimates & Professional Advice Disclaimer
SalarySteps provides financial calculators, wage conversion models, and educational articles for informational and planning purposes only. We do not provide licensed tax preparation, certified payroll processing, legal counsel, or financial planning services. A worker's actual take-home pay, tax liability, or contractor obligations will vary based on individual elections, employer policies, pre-tax benefits, local municipal taxes, and changes in federal or state law. You should always consult a certified public accountant (CPA), qualified tax attorney, or payroll professional before making binding financial decisions.

You are granted a limited, non-exclusive license to use SalarySteps calculators for personal financial planning or internal business evaluation. You may embed our calculators on your website using the provided embed iframe code with attribution intact. You agree not to:
- Engage in automated scraping, bot crawling, or data extraction that impairs site operations.
- Generate artificial, invalid, or fraudulent impressions or clicks on advertisements displayed on the site.
- Misrepresent calculator estimates as official government tax determinations or binding payroll statements.
- Republish substantial portions of our proprietary calculator copy or code without written permission.
3. Accuracy & Availability
While we make every effort to maintain tested, audit-verified formulas aligned with current IRS and state schedules, the site is provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis without warranties of any kind. We reserve the right to modify, update, or discontinue tools and content at any time without prior notice.
