1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how the Malaysia Freelancer CP500 Tax Calculator ("this site", "we", "us") handles information when you visit or use this website. By using this site, you agree to the practices described below. This site is an independent tool and is not affiliated with Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri Malaysia (LHDN) or any government agency.
2. Information We Collect
All tax calculations performed on this site (income, expenses, reliefs, and results) run entirely in your web browser using client-side JavaScript. We do not collect, transmit, or store the figures you enter into the calculator on any server, and we have no way of viewing or retrieving your inputs.
For your convenience, the calculator saves your last-entered figures and your selected display language (English, Chinese, or Bahasa Malaysia) using your browser's local storage. This data stays on your own device, is never transmitted to us or any third party, and can be cleared at any time using the "Clear saved data" button on the calculator or by clearing your browser's site data.
Like most websites, our server and third-party services may automatically log standard technical information when you visit, such as your approximate location (city/country level), browser type, device type, referring page, and pages viewed. This information is aggregated and used only to understand site traffic and improve the service — it is not used to identify you personally.
3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
This site may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons and local storage) for the following purposes:
- Remembering basic site preferences during your visit.
- Measuring aggregate traffic and usage patterns through analytics tools.
- Enabling advertising services, including Google AdSense, to display relevant ads.
You can control or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some site functionality but will not prevent you from using the tax calculator itself, which runs independently of cookies.
4. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising
This site may display advertisements served by Google AdSense and other third-party advertising networks. These providers may use cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites, in order to provide advertisements about goods and services that may interest you.
Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings, or by visiting www.aboutads.info to opt out of third-party vendor cookies used for personalised advertising more broadly.
5. Analytics
We may use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to help understand how visitors use this site. These services may set their own cookies and collect information such as IP address, device type, and browsing behaviour on this site. This data is used in aggregate form and is not linked to any personal identity.
6. Data Storage & Retention
Because tax calculator inputs are processed entirely client-side, no financial figures you enter are stored, logged, or retained by us in any database. Your last-entered figures and language preference are saved only in your browser's local storage (see Section 2) and remain on your device until you clear them or clear your browser data — we have no access to this information. Any technical/analytics data collected by third-party services (see Sections 3–5) is retained according to those providers' own retention policies, which are outside our direct control. We do not sell, rent, or trade any visitor information to third parties.
7. Children's Privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through this site, please contact us so we can address it.
8. Financial Estimation Disclaimer
All figures produced by the calculator on this site are estimates for general planning purposes only. They are based on publicly available LHDN rate tables and relief caps for Year of Assessment 2025/2026 at the time of publishing, and may not reflect the most current rates, subsequent Budget announcements, or your individual tax circumstances.
This site does not provide tax, legal, or financial advice, and no calculation shown here constitutes a final tax assessment. You should independently verify all figures through LHDN's official MyTax portal or with a licensed tax agent before making any financial or filing decision. We accept no liability for decisions made based on estimates generated by this tool.
9. External Links
This site may contain links to external websites, including LHDN's official portal and third-party advertising destinations. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of any external site, and encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Continued use of this site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
