Terms of Use

Effective and last updated: September 26, 2026

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of netwagetax.com and the calculators, content, and features offered on it (together, the “Service”), operated by NetWageTax (“NetWageTax,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. The Service

NetWageTax provides free, browser-based calculators and explanatory content about U.S. payroll and income tax topics. The Service is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time without notice or liability.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to accept these Terms on its behalf.

3. Not tax, legal, or financial advice

The Service does not provide tax, legal, accounting, or financial advice, and no professional-client relationship is created by your use of it. Results are estimates based on the information you enter and our interpretation of published law and guidance, which may change. You are solely responsible for the accuracy of your tax returns and for any decisions you make. Please read our full Financial & Tax Disclaimer, which forms part of these Terms.

4. Acceptable and fair use

You may use the Service for your personal, non-commercial purposes, and professionals may use it as a reference in their own work. You agree not to:

  • Use the Service in violation of any applicable law or regulation
  • Scrape, crawl, or harvest content or results through automated means at a volume that burdens the Service, except for search engines indexing public pages in accordance with our robots directives
  • Attempt to interfere with, disrupt, overload, or gain unauthorized access to the Service or its infrastructure
  • Introduce malware, or probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service without our written permission
  • Frame, mirror, or republish the Service or substantial portions of its content as your own, or present it in a way that suggests our endorsement
  • Generate invalid advertising impressions or clicks, or otherwise interfere with the advertising that supports the Service
  • Misrepresent the Service’s output as professional advice or as an official IRS determination

Brief quotations with attribution and a link back to the Service are welcome.

5. Intellectual property

The Service, including its text, design, graphics, code, and the selection and arrangement of its content, is owned by NetWageTax or its licensors and is protected by U.S. and international copyright, trademark, and other laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. Statutory text and official IRS materials referenced on the Site remain in the public domain.

6. Third-party content, links, and advertising

The Service may display advertisements and link to third-party websites. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, products, services, or privacy practices, and a link or advertisement does not constitute an endorsement. Your dealings with advertisers are solely between you and them.

7. Disclaimer of warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and accuracy. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or current, or that any calculation, estimate, or content is accurate or complete.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, NetWageTax and its owners, operators, contributors, and service providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any taxes, penalties, interest, lost profits, or lost data, arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Service, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Because the Service is free, our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Service will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain damages, so some of the above may not apply to you.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless NetWageTax and its owners and operators from any claims, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the Service.

10. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the laws of the state in which NetWageTax is organized, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising under these Terms will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in that state, and you consent to their personal jurisdiction.

11. General

  • Changes. We may revise these Terms at any time by posting an updated version and changing the “last updated” date. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
  • Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
  • No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision.
  • Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer, are the entire agreement between you and NetWageTax regarding the Service.
