Privacy policy

Effective date: September 30, 2026.

Calculator inputs

Phase 1 calculators run in your web browser and do not require an account. Service Biz Calculators does not intentionally send the numbers you type into a calculator to a Service Biz Calculators database merely to perform the calculation.

Optional ZIP-code lookup

If you use an optional ZIP-code lookup, the browser loads static geographic and wage-reference data used to find the relevant BLS area. The BLS wage-reference file is stored with the site. If a local copy of the ZIP geography file is unavailable, the browser may retrieve that static geography file from the third-party publisher identified in the calculator methodology.

Web-server logs

Our hosting provider may process ordinary web-server information such as IP address, browser or device information, requested URLs, timestamps and error or security logs. These records may be used for site operation, troubleshooting, security and abuse prevention.

Google advertising and cookies

If Google AdSense or another Google advertising product is enabled on this site, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a visitor's prior visits to this site or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

Advertising technologies may involve cookies, web beacons, IP addresses or other identifiers used for ad delivery, frequency controls, reporting, fraud prevention, measurement and, where permitted, ad personalization.

You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites and apps that use Google services at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

Advertising choices

You may manage Google personalized-ad settings at Google Ads Settings. You can also learn about choices for some participating third-party advertising providers at YourAdChoices.

Other advertising vendors

If third-party ad networks or vendors other than Google are enabled, this policy will be updated to identify or link to the applicable providers and their privacy or opt-out information as appropriate.

Consent management

Where required, the site may display a consent or privacy message before advertising or related storage technologies are used. Service Biz Calculators intends to use a Google-certified consent-management solution where Google's publisher requirements require one.
