Why TaxMetria is different

Auditable from gross to net

Every result comes with a step-by-step calculation trail. Each line references the official fact record it produced it — bracket, allowance, contribution, or taper.

Sourced, not scraped

Tax rates come from the IRS, HMRC, and equivalent authorities only. Every fact carries a source URL, retrieval date, and reviewer. Blogs and search snippets never set the numbers.

Private by default

Salary inputs are computed in your browser. They are not sent to analytics, logged, or stored unless you explicitly opt in. We do not run ads or third-party trackers on the calculator.

How we keep this honest

  1. Official sources only. Rates come from the IRS, HMRC, and equivalent authorities — never from blog posts, competitors, or AI answers.
  2. One source of truth. The calculator, prose, tables, and structured data all read from the same versioned fact registry, so the page never disagrees with the tool.
  3. Public corrections. If we publish a wrong number we correct it visibly and record the change. See the corrections log.
  4. Honest about limits. A single-filer model cannot cover married filing jointly, dependents, AMT, capital gains, or state taxes. We say so next to every result.
