The tax figures are ours — computed by our own engine, not copied from another calculator. The methodology is written up in full on the methodology page, including what it does not model.
Anonymous usage data
We also publish what people calculate, in aggregate — which states and which salary brackets get checked. That dataset is anonymous by construction, not by promise: exact salaries are bucketed in the browser and never transmitted. See privacy for exactly what is and is not recorded. Aggregates will be published here once there is enough volume for them to mean anything; publishing thin data would be worse than publishing none.
