Count Twice: certified payroll checker

Updated 8 November 2026

Privacy

Count Twice is a free page that checks one week of certified payroll. Your payroll file stays on your computer. Here is the little that does leave it.

Your payroll file and your rates

Your browser reads your file on your own computer. It isn't uploaded, sent anywhere or saved, and neither are the rates you type. Close the tab and they're gone.

The checker's code makes no network requests. It sets no cookies and doesn't use your browser's storage.

Visit counts

The site uses Plausible Analytics to count visits. Plausible sets no cookies and doesn't store your IP address. For each visit it records the page, the site that sent you, your browser, operating system and device type, your rough location (country, region and city), and how far you scroll and how long the page is open.

It also counts three button presses: running the check, trying the sample week, and "Tell me when the desktop app is ready". Each count is only the button's name. Nothing from your file or your rates goes with it.

To count unique visitors, Plausible makes a code from your IP address and browser details that changes every day, so a visit can't be tied to the next day's. Plausible says visitor data stays in the EU. Its data policy has the details.

The web host

GitHub Pages serves this site. GitHub logs the IP address of each visit for security, the way most web hosts do. GitHub's privacy statement covers what it does with that.

What the site doesn't do

The "Tell me" button counts a click and sends nothing else.

Changes and questions
