Why are you asking for this?

To calculate your Paycheck Score, we need a few numbers — your take-home pay, spending, reserves, debts, and assets. Nothing more.

What happens to my numbers?

Your entries are used in your browser to calculate your score. Your score and its inputs are saved only on your device, so you can return and see your progress. They aren't sent to our servers.

Do I need to connect my bank?

No. There are no bank, card, or brokerage connections — ever. Everything is entered by hand, on purpose.

Does Paycheck Coach see my information?

When you use the Coach, it receives a summary of your score — your stage and the four component scores — so it can explain them. It doesn't receive your income, balances, or other raw numbers.

Are my exact numbers shared? Sold?

No. We never put your income, spending, cash, debt, or asset figures into analytics, and we never sell your financial information. If you choose to save your score, we store your email to track progress and remind you — not your financial numbers.

Can I clear my information?

Anytime. It lives in this browser — clearing your site data removes it, or use the button below.

Cleared. Your saved score and history are gone from this browser.
