I think it depends on the water softner. Check with the maker of the unit you are interested in. They should be able to provide you with the exact amounts for your unit.
It is very likely that it does provide a dietary significant source of salt. If this is your concern, try looking at a reverse osmosis (RO) system instead.

What is the difference between commercial water softeners and water softeners?
Commercial Water Softeners are designed for extensive use and minimal repair. A water softener is designed to remove Calcium, Magnesium, minimal to moderate iron, and manganese out of water. Commercial Water Softeners are designed for easy repair. They are more expensive, but very simple when it comes to pulling motors, changing valves, and replacing switch boards. A "water softener" that you buy off the shelf or from a dealer is a softener that is designed to take far less load, or "burden", and thus it often needs replacing. The word I am looking for in a Commercial Water Softener is "serviceable". Commercial water softeners are made to be serviced and work year after year. Yes you can service consumer grade softeners but they are not designed to be serviceable - or we would all service our own. The Softener Industry designs Commercial Softeners so they are easy for the them to service, but still bill-able to you. When pulling a consumer grade softener apart you find - bearings and wheels. But if you take the face off commercial models - the motor comes out easily (just unplug it) - the valve takes a little more time, but replacing the computer board is as easy as unplugging the wires. For Residential use - a commercial water softener is a minimal repair softener system, with prolonged life. If you are using a commercial water softener for commercial purposes - because of industrial use, it will need scheduled services. When compared to consumer grade softeners - commercial water softeners are excellent performers.

Can you get orange stains on your clothes after washing them from a water softener?
Not usually but if the water softener's resin is leaking into the water supply - to your sink and washing machine - that could explain the orange stains because some water softener resins are orange in color. If the resin vessel is cracked the water softener is only fit for scrapping. It is not usually economic to get a water softener repaired by fitting a new resin vessel as other parts will also be worn out. If you buy a brand new one it will normally come with at least one year's warranty. In an older home sometimes rust from non-copper plumbing will stain your washing.
