How these tools work

Nothing leaves your browser

Every calculation and text check runs on your device. Nothing is uploaded, and “Clear” erases what a tool remembers.

The salary figures have a source

They come from 19,578 open roles that publish a yearly US-dollar range. No figure is shown for fewer than 20 postings.

The method is on the page

Arithmetic and fill-in templates, not AI. Under each tool you can read how its result is calculated.

Questions about the tools

Are these tools free?

Yes. Every tool on this page is free, needs no account and can be used as often as you like.

Do the tools store or upload what I type?

No. All calculations and text checks run in your browser. What you type is saved only in this browser’s storage so a tool remembers it next time, and every tool has a Clear button that erases it.

Do the tools use AI?

No. The calculators are plain arithmetic, the checkers count words and patterns, and the letter writers are fill-in templates. How each result is calculated is explained under the tool.

Where do the salary figures come from?

From the salary ranges that employers publish in their own job postings on this site: 19,578 open roles with a yearly US-dollar range as of Nov 14, 2026. No surveys and no numbers submitted by users.
