Calculator inputs
The supplied calculators run in your browser. Their code does not send the amounts you enter to us, save them in a user account or submit them to HMRC. Refreshing the page resets the inputs. Your browser may remember form entries according to its own settings.
Information sent through the contact form
When you submit an enquiry, the form sends your name, email address and message to the website’s enquiry inbox. Providing this information is voluntary, but a name, valid email and message are needed to submit the form and allow a reply. Do not include sensitive financial documents or account credentials.
The form processes this information to deliver and respond to your enquiry. Enquiry handling and abuse prevention are intended to support the operator’s legitimate interests in responding to visitors and maintaining a reliable website. Any additional purpose or different legal basis must be described in the site-specific information below.
Spam prevention and technical information
The contact handler uses a keyed hash of the connecting IP address and an attempt count to limit repeated submissions. This temporary record expires after 15 minutes without another counted attempt; cleanup of expired database records may happen later. The raw IP address is not included in the enquiry email by this form. Hosting and security services may separately record IP addresses, request times and browser information.
Recipients and retention
Messages pass through the website’s hosting and email systems and are available to the people handling enquiries. The theme does not create a separate contact-message database. Copies may remain in email systems, server logs or backups. Retention should reflect the time needed to resolve an enquiry, handle follow-up questions or disputes, and meet any applicable legal obligation. Details of the operator’s providers, retention arrangements and any international processing belong in the section below.
Cookies and additional services
This website uses cookies. The calculator and contact features themselves do not set advertising or analytics cookies, but the site as a whole uses third-party cookies: Google Analytics sets cookies to measure how visitors use the site, and Google AdSense sets cookies to serve and measure advertising. You can accept or reject non-essential cookies using the consent banner shown on your first visit. WordPress login features and other plugins may also use cookies or browser storage.
Your choices and rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may request access, correction, deletion or restriction of your personal information, and data portability where applicable. You may object to processing based on legitimate interests. Contact us to exercise these rights; identity checks may be needed. If processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it.
You can also raise a concern with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office. The calculators do not make automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects about you.

Google’s use of advertising cookies means that it and its partners can serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
