Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of TrueRate, the free freelance rate calculator available at trueratecalculator.com. By using the site, you agree to the terms below. If you do not agree, please do not use the tool.

1. What TrueRate provides

TrueRate is a free, browser-based calculator that estimates a freelancer's real take-home rate based on the inputs you provide. It is offered for general informational and planning purposes only. The tool runs entirely in your browser and does not require an account.

2. No professional advice

The results, including tax estimates, are illustrative approximations, not financial, accounting, legal, or tax advice. They do not reflect your actual tax liability or legal obligations, which depend on your income, deductions, jurisdiction, and other factors. You should consult a qualified professional before making financial decisions. You are solely responsible for how you use the information the tool provides.

3. Accuracy and availability

We work to keep the calculator accurate and available, but we make no guarantee that it will be error-free, uninterrupted, or fit for a particular purpose. Default values such as tax percentages and platform fees are simplified estimates that may not match current rates. We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the site at any time without notice.

4. Acceptable use

You agree to use TrueRate only for lawful purposes. You may not attempt to disrupt the site, misuse it, or use automated means to overload it. You may not copy or redistribute the site's content in a way that misrepresents its origin or violates applicable law.

5. Intellectual property

The TrueRate name, logo, text, and design are the property of their respective owners and are protected by applicable law. You may use the calculator for your own purposes, but you may not reproduce the site's branding or content as your own.

6. Third-party links and advertising

The site may display advertising and may link to third-party websites. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of any third party. Advertising, where present, is governed by the relevant provider's own terms and policies.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, TrueRate and its operators are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, the site or its results. The tool is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind.

8. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page, and continued use of the site after changes take effect means you accept the revised terms.
