1 Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using PayPeek ("the Service," "the Site") at paypeek.app, you agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you") and PayPeek ("we," "us," "our"). Your continued use of the Service after any modification to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

2 Description of Service

PayPeek provides free, browser-based financial calculation tools designed to help US employees understand their paycheck deductions, federal and state income taxes, FICA contributions, 401(k) impacts, and net take-home pay.

The Service currently includes:

  • Paycheck Decoder โ€” calculates take-home pay based on salary, state, filing status, and deductions
  • Financial health scoring and personalised recommendations
  • Federal tax bracket visualisation based on 2025 IRS published data
  • Educational FAQ content about US payroll and income taxes

All tools are provided for educational and illustrative purposes only. Additional tools may be added in the future, and existing tools may be modified or discontinued at our discretion.

3 Not Financial or Legal Advice

The information and calculations provided by PayPeek are for educational purposes only. They do not constitute financial advice, tax advice, legal advice, accounting advice, or investment advice of any kind.

PayPeek is not a registered investment advisor, certified public accountant (CPA), licensed tax preparer, attorney, or financial planner. We are not regulated by the IRS, SEC, FINRA, or any other financial regulatory body.

You should not make financial, tax, employment, legal, or investment decisions based solely on the output of PayPeek tools. Always consult a qualified professional โ€” such as a certified financial planner (CFP), certified public accountant (CPA), or licensed attorney โ€” for advice specific to your individual circumstances.

4 Accuracy of Calculations

We make every effort to ensure our calculations are accurate and reflect current IRS tax brackets, Social Security wage bases, 401(k) contribution limits, and state income tax rates. Our federal tax calculations are based on IRS Revenue Procedure 2024-40 for tax year 2025.

However, PayPeek makes no warranties or representations about the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any calculation outputs. Our tools use simplified models and may not account for:

  • Individual tax credits (Child Tax Credit, Earned Income Credit, education credits, foreign tax credits)
  • Itemised deductions beyond the standard deduction
  • Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)
  • Self-employment tax or gig economy income
  • Investment income, capital gains, dividends, or rental income
  • State and local tax variations beyond top marginal rate estimates
  • Local city taxes (e.g. New York City local tax)
  • Pre-tax deductions beyond 401(k) and health insurance (FSA, HSA, commuter benefits)
  • Mid-year changes in salary, withholding, or filing status
  • Changes in tax law enacted after our last update

Your actual tax liability will differ based on your specific circumstances. For accurate tax preparation, consult a licensed tax professional or use IRS-approved software.
