About the Project

In today’s world, no matter our profession, having basic knowledge of technology and data is becoming as essential as speaking English. It doesn’t matter whether your main field is finance, marketing, or anything else — we don’t all need to become programmers, but knowing how to work with Python, JavaScript, CSS, servers, and databases helps us solve real problems.

I decided not only to study theory, but to learn by building something useful. Step by step, I taught myself these technologies and applied them directly.

Since my main field is finance, I focused on a problem I know well. Living in Cyprus, I saw that personal taxation is complicated — many people don’t know how much tax they personally pay or that employers also contribute a significant part of payroll taxes.

Although calculators exist online, I couldn’t find one that gives a clear, full picture of payroll taxes for both employees and employers, with transparency on how each tax is calculated. Especially when you need to calculate gross from net, include a bonus or 13th salary, or view clear annual totals.

💡 That’s why I built my own, while learning programming and web development:

It’s free, simple to use, and shows salary taxation in a way that’s transparent and easy to understand.
