Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 24, 2026

Your privacy matters, especially with money. Here's how this site works in plain English.

The short version

The Can I Afford It calculator runs entirely in your browser. The financial numbers you enter are used only to show your result on your device. We do not transmit, save, or store your personal financial information on our servers, and we do not require an account.

Information we don't collect

  • We don't store the income, expenses, savings, or purchase amounts you enter.
  • We don't create user accounts or profiles.
  • We don't sell personal information.

Information that may be collected automatically

Like most websites, we may use basic analytics and advertising services to keep the site running and free. These services can collect non-identifying technical information such as your browser type, general location, and pages visited, sometimes using cookies.

Advertising

We plan to display ads (for example, Google AdSense) to support the site. Advertising partners may use cookies to show more relevant ads. You can usually control ad personalization through your browser settings or the ad provider's preferences.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored by your browser. We may use them for basic functionality, analytics, and advertising. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may behave differently.

Children's privacy

This site is intended for general audiences and is not directed at children under 13.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site grows. We'll revise the "last updated" date above when we do.
