Our calculators apply official rates to the figures you enter and show the working. They cannot see your full tax, pay or property position, so treat every result as a well-checked starting point. Before you file, sign, pay or claim anything, confirm the figure with the official body or a qualified adviser.
What this disclaimer covers
This disclaimer applies to everything published on myeasycalculator.com: every calculator and its result, the breakdowns and reference tables, the worked examples, the guides on our calculator blog, and any PDF or CSV file you download from a calculator.
It sits alongside our Terms of Service, which set the rules for using the site, and our Editorial Policy, which explains how each calculator is researched, built and checked.
Calculator results are estimates
A result is built from three things: the figures and options you enter, the rates and thresholds in force for the tax or rate year shown on the page, and the standard method the official body publishes. If any of those three differ from your real situation, your real figure will differ too.
Calculators work with the inputs they ask for. They cannot see the details that often change a real bill or payslip, such as:
- your tax code, other income, earlier payments or tax already deducted
- credits, offsets, reliefs, deductions or benefits you claim
- your employment contract, award, enterprise agreement or collective agreement
- decisions made by your council, lender, employer or a government agency about your case
- changes to the law announced after the Updated date on the calculator page
Figures are rounded for display, so a total can differ from a hand calculation by a cent or a penny.
Not financial, tax or legal advice
Nothing on this website is financial, tax, legal, investment, accounting, mortgage or employment advice. My Easy Calculator is not a licensed financial adviser, registered tax agent, accountant, lawyer or mortgage broker in any country, and using the site does not create an adviser and client relationship.
For decisions involving significant sums, a tax return, a contract or a legal right, get advice from a professional licensed where you live. The table below shows who can confirm the most common figures.
| Country | Tax and payroll | Employment and pay rights | Property and local charges |
|---|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom | HMRC, your employer's payroll | Acas, GOV.UK | Your local council, the Valuation Office Agency, the Scottish Assessors |
| Canada | Canada Revenue Agency, Revenu Québec | Your provincial or territorial employment standards office; the federal Labour Program for federally regulated work | Your provincial land titles or registry office |
| Australia | Australian Taxation Office, your state revenue office for payroll tax | Fair Work Ombudsman | Your state revenue office and land titles office |
| New Zealand | Inland Revenue | Employment New Zealand | Inland Revenue for bright-line tax, your local council for rates |
| USA | The IRS, your state tax agency | U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division, your state labor department | Your county assessor |
Limits by country
Each calculator applies one country's rules for the year shown on the page. These are the most common reasons a real figure differs from our estimate in each country.
United Kingdom
The UK tax year runs from 6 April to 5 April. Scotland sets its own Income Tax bands, and Wales and Scotland run council tax differently from England. Your tax code, salary sacrifice, benefits in kind and student loan plan all change take-home pay. Statutory pay depends on your employer's records of your earnings. Northern Ireland uses domestic rates, not council tax.
Canada
Income tax combines federal and provincial or territorial rules, and Quebec runs its own tax system. Employment standards differ in each province and territory, and federally regulated employers follow the Canada Labour Code instead. A contract or collective agreement can give you more than the statutory minimum. Your RRSP deduction limit is only confirmed on your CRA Notice of Assessment or in CRA My Account, and common-law severance estimates are ranges, not entitlements.
Australia
The income year runs from 1 July to 30 June. Stamp duty, payroll tax and land transfer fees are set by each state and territory, and concessions often depend on eligibility rules a calculator cannot test. Awards and enterprise agreements can change pay entitlements. HELP debts, offsets, the Medicare levy surcharge and your total super balance can all change a tax or super figure.
New Zealand
The tax year runs from 1 April to 31 March, and minimum wage rates usually change on 1 April. Inland Revenue decides paid parental leave eligibility and amounts. Bright-line results depend on exact dates and exclusions, such as the main home exclusion, which Inland Revenue applies case by case.
USA
Federal calculators apply federal rules such as the Fair Labor Standards Act. Many states and some cities set higher minimum wage or overtime standards, and the more generous rule usually applies. Savings projections assume the rate you enter stays the same for the whole period and do not allow for tax or inflation unless the page says so.
Rates and rules change
Governments change rates, thresholds and rules every year, and sometimes part way through a year. Every calculator page shows its Updated date, the tax or rate year it covers and a Sources list with the date each source was last checked.
We re-check a calculator when a rate or rule it uses changes. If an official body has published a new figure since the Updated date on a page, the official figure is the one that applies.
Your inputs and your result
A result is only as good as the figures entered. The most common causes of a wrong result are simple to avoid:
- entering a net amount where the calculator asks for gross, or the reverse
- mixing annual, monthly, weekly and hourly figures
- choosing the wrong province, state, territory or nation
- using last year's figure from a payslip, bill or statement
Check each input against your payslip, bill, contract or official statement before relying on a result.
Guides and worked examples
Our guides explain how official rules work, and the worked examples on calculator pages show the method with realistic figures. They describe general situations, not yours, and they are correct for the year stated on the page. An example that matches your numbers still cannot account for facts it does not know.
Downloads and printouts
A PDF or CSV download records the inputs you entered, the result and the date. It is a personal record of an estimate. It is not an official statement, a quote, a payslip or evidence of an entitlement, and it should not be submitted to a tax authority, court or lender as one.
Links to other websites
Calculator pages link to the government publications they rely on so you can check the figures yourself. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their content, availability or later changes. Links are checked on the dates shown in each Sources list.
Independence and advertising
My Easy Calculator is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any government agency, bank, lender, insurer or investment firm. Government bodies are named only to cite the source of a figure.
The site is funded by advertising served by Google AdSense. Ads are labelled Advertisement, kept away from calculator inputs and results, and have no effect on any calculation or on what we write. An ad appearing on a page is not a recommendation of the product or company.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, My Easy Calculator is not liable for any loss, penalty, interest charge or other consequence arising from using a calculator, guide or download, including losses caused by incorrect inputs, by acting on a result without checking it, or by a change to the law after a page was last updated.
Nothing in this disclaimer limits any liability that cannot be limited under the law that applies to you, or affects your statutory rights as a consumer. The full terms are in our Terms of Service.
Report a possible error
If you think a result is wrong, email info@myeasycalculator.com or use our contact page with three things: the calculator page, the inputs you used, and the official source that shows a different figure. We re-check the figure against the official source and fix the calculator if it needs it. The process is set out in our Editorial Policy.
Using this website means you accept this disclaimer. If you do not accept it, please do not use the calculators or rely on their results.
Frequently asked questions
Not on its own. A result is an estimate built from the figures you entered and the published rates, so check it against your official records, such as your payslips, P60, T4, PAYG summary or IRS forms, before you enter anything on a return. If the amount is large or your situation is unusual, ask a registered tax agent or accountant.
First check your inputs against the payslip or bill, especially gross or net amounts and the pay period. If they match, the difference usually comes from something the calculator cannot see, such as your tax code, deductions or a local decision. Ask your employer's payroll team or the body that issued the bill, and tell us if you think our calculation is wrong.
No. My Easy Calculator is an independent website with no connection to any government agency. We name these bodies because their publications are the sources of our rates and rules, and each calculator page links to the exact documents it uses.
Where the rules differ within a country and the calculator says so, yes: the calculator asks for your province, state, territory or nation and applies its rates. Local charges and private agreements, such as a council's own discounts or an enterprise agreement, are only included where the calculator page states it.
You are. The calculators apply official rates to whatever you enter, so a wrong input gives a wrong result. Check each figure against your own documents before relying on the answer.
