At BudgetCalc.com.au, protecting your privacy is central to how this tool is built. This policy explains what information is collected when you visit the site, and — just as importantly — what isn't.
The figures you enter into the calculator (income, Centrelink payments, expenses, debts) are processed entirely in your browser. They are never transmitted to, or stored on, any BudgetCalc server. Closing or refreshing the page clears them permanently.
Like most websites, the hosting provider for BudgetCalc.com.au automatically logs standard technical information when you visit — such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, and the date and time of your visit. This information is used only to keep the site running securely and to understand general traffic patterns. It is not linked to the budget figures you enter.
This site uses cookies for basic site functionality and, where applicable, to support advertising (see below). You can find full detail on cookie types and how to manage them in our Cookie Policy.
BudgetCalc.com.au may display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on a visitor's prior visits to this site and other sites on the internet. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve relevant ads to you.
You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
BudgetCalc.com.au has no access to, or control over, the cookies used by Google or other third-party advertisers. Please refer to Google's own Privacy Policy for further detail on how it handles data.
This site aims to handle any personal information collected in line with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). Because BudgetCalc.com.au does not collect or store personal financial data, there is minimal personal information held about you at any time. If you have questions about what limited technical data is logged, you're welcome to reach out via the Contact page.
BudgetCalc.com.au is intended for general adult use and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
This policy may be updated occasionally to reflect changes in the tools or advertising partners used on this site. The "Last Updated" date above will always reflect the most recent revision.
