RaiseGauge is built to need as little of your data as possible. We do not require an account and we do not store the salaries you enter on our servers — calculations happen on request and your saved inputs live only in your own browser's local storage.
We use a privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics setup to count visits in aggregate. With your consent, we may show ads via Google AdSense, which can set cookies for ad delivery. You can decline on the cookie banner and keep using everything; we default ad and analytics storage to denied until you choose.
If you subscribe to the optional monthly CPI digest, we store your email address and a confirmation flag solely to send that digest (double opt-in). Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can request deletion of your address at any time.
Inflation figures come from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. RaiseGauge is not affiliated with or endorsed by any government agency.
