Multilingual Salary Calculator for Germany
Many people from a migrant background have difficulty understanding the German income tax system. Therefore, as a side project, I have created a multilingual gross-net-salary calculator for Germany. With this side project, my main goals are: 1. to create an intuitive method for non-German speakers to easily understand how and what is deducted from their gross salary in Germany, 2. to translate the calculator into Eastern and Central European languages (as they represent one of the largest groups of migrant workers in Germany) to make it easier for them to understand the German income tax…
In plain words
The Multilingual Salary Calculator for Germany is a tool that helps migrant workers understand how German income tax and deductions work on their salaries. It translates complex tax calculations into Eastern and Central European languages, Russian, and Farsi, with plans for additional languages. The calculator is designed to be intuitive and mobile-friendly, making it accessible to users with smartphones who may not speak German fluently.

Many people from a migrant background have difficulty understanding the German income tax system. Therefore, as a side project, I have created a multilingual gross-net-salary calculator for Germany. With this side project, my main goals are: 1. to create an intuitive method for non-German speakers to easily understand how and what is deducted from their gross salary in Germany, 2. to translate the calculator into Eastern and Central European languages (as they represent one of the largest groups of migrant workers in Germany) to make it easier for them to understand the German income tax system, 3. make it mobile-friendly so that anyone with only a mobile phone can easily use it. I am currently working on translations into Russian and Farsi (based on the requests from several organisations who are working with refugees in Germany), with other languages to follow. The website is already available in the following languages: Arabic, English, German, Hungarian, Romanian, Ukrainian. What do you think about design? Is it intuitive or does it need some improvement? All feedback is welcome.

I made a thing! In 2014, I was holding a stack of iPhones and thought to myself: "Hey, if I had each phone display a playing card, I could click a button and they'd shuffle themselves" I pared that idea all the way down to this: trading cards made of e-ink displays. Right now, each card costs me about $20 each, but with only a bit more scale, I think I can get that down to $10. In doing this project, I learned how to design electronics and circuit boards. I learned Rust and wrote my first driver, I upped my CAD skills, 3D printed, and did my first resin casting. I generated the images on the…
