Terms of Service

01. Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“User”, “you”, or “your”) and Salary to Hourly Inc. (“SalaryToHourly”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), governing your access to and use of https://www.salarytohourly.org and all associated wage conversion calculators, paycheck estimators, comparison charts, and documentation (collectively, the “Service”).

By accessing or using any portion of our Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to all terms and conditions set forth herein, you must immediately discontinue use of the Service.

02. Informational & Non-Fiduciary Nature of Calculations

SalaryToHourly is an online mathematical modeling and estimation tool. It is designed to assist wage earners, job candidates, freelancers, contractors, and hiring managers in modeling salary-to-hourly conversions, overtime multiples, and annualized earnings.

You should never execute employment contracts, resign from a position, settle wage disputes, or submit statutory tax returns based solely on estimates generated by this website. Always consult a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA), payroll specialist, or employment attorney for official payroll decisions.

03. Mathematical Modeling Assumptions & Accuracy

Our calculation models rely upon standardized payroll conventions and formulas, including:

• Standard Full-Time Benchmark: The standard full-time model presumes 40 hours per week across 52 weeks per calendar year, totaling 2,080 working hours annually (or 2,088 hours in standard leap-year payroll cycles).
• Customizable Factors: Users may customize hours worked per week, days per year, paid time off (PTO) days, paid holidays, and overtime multipliers (e.g., 1.5x time-and-a-half or 2.0x double-time). Mathematical outputs are only as accurate as user-entered parameters.
• Tax & Withholding Approximations: Tax brackets, federal/state/provincial estimates, and social insurance contributions (such as FICA, Medicare, or National Insurance) are simplified approximations for educational comparisons and may not reflect recent local legislative updates.
• Currency Presentations: Currency selections (e.g., USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD) modify formatting and localized standards for user convenience, but do not represent real-time foreign exchange market rates.

04. Permitted Uses & User Conduct

We grant you a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Service strictly in compliance with these Terms.

You agree NOT to:

• Deploy automated scrapers, web spiders, bots, or programmatic extractors to bulk-query our calculation algorithms without prior written authorization.
• Engage in any denial-of-service (DDoS) attempts, exploit vulnerabilities, or inject malicious scripts that disrupt server availability or compromise site security.
• Frame, mirror, or repackage our calculation interface within an external commercial application in a manner that misleads consumers regarding origin or ownership.
• Remove, obscure, or alter any copyright notices, trademarks, or proprietary markings displayed on our website or generated export charts.

05. Intellectual Property Rights

The Service, including its interactive calculator components, custom user interface design systems, styling tokens, algorithms, codebases, text copy, blog guides, graphics, logos, and trademarks, is the sole property of Salary to Hourly Inc. and is protected under United States and international copyright, trademark, and intellectual property statutes.

If any provision of these Terms is deemed unlawful, void, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be severed and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
