Terms of Service

Last updated: July 2026

Short version: Salary Explained is a free tool you're welcome to use for your own personal, non-commercial purposes. It's provided "as is" with no guarantees, its figures are estimates, and by using the site you accept these terms.

Acceptance of terms

By accessing or using Salary Explained (https://salaryexplained.com), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and by our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use the site. These terms apply to all visitors and users of the site.

Disclaimer of warranties

The site and all of its content and calculators are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. All figures produced by the tool are estimates based on standard formulas and approximate data, and may not reflect your actual pay, taxes, or circumstances. We do not warrant that the site will be accurate, complete, current, uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. Nothing on the site is financial, tax, or legal advice — see our Disclaimer for full details.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Salary Explained and the individuals who operate it will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of — or inability to use — the site, its calculators, or any content, including any decisions you make based on the estimates shown. You use the site and rely on its outputs entirely at your own risk. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
