Privacy policy
Last updated July 2026.
Calculator data
Every calculator on PublishCalc runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. The numbers you type into a calculator — list price, page count, word count, and so on — are processed locally on your device and are not transmitted to, or stored on, any PublishCalc server.
No account required
PublishCalc does not require you to create an account, log in, or provide an email address to use any calculator on this site.
Analytics
Like most websites, PublishCalc may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand which pages are visited and how the site performs, so we can improve it over time. Analytics data is aggregated and is not used to identify you individually.
Advertising
PublishCalc intends to display advertising, including through Google AdSense, to support running the site for free. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. If you have not opted out of third-party ad serving generally, you may also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info. For more on how Google handles data across its services, see Google's Business Data Responsibility site.
Affiliate links
Some links on this site may be affiliate links, meaning PublishCalc may earn a small commission if you make a purchase after clicking through, at no extra cost to you. This does not affect the estimates produced by any calculator.
Cookies
This site does not use cookies for calculator functionality — every calculation happens locally in your browser. If advertising or analytics services are enabled, they may set cookies or use similar local storage for site measurement, fraud prevention, and ads personalization; these are governed by those services' own privacy policies, linked above and below.
Your choices (EEA, UK, and Switzerland)
If you are visiting from the European Economic Area, the UK, or Switzerland, you will see a consent notice on your first visit asking for your permission before any non-essential cookies or ads-personalization technologies are used. You can accept, decline non-essential use, or change your choice at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for this site and reloading the page.
Children's privacy
PublishCalc is intended for adult authors and publishing professionals and is not directed at children under 13.
