I built a free, private Global Salary Calculator (8 countries, offer comparison, 100% client-side)

Description and use

A client‑side salary calculator that automatically computes net pay, CTC, and budgeting for 8 countries, with no signup and data staying in the browser.

Problem

Gross salary figures are misleading because net take‑home pay varies by tax brackets, social security, and country‑specific deductions.

Outcome

The tool enables privacy‑preserving, accurate salary comparisons and financial planning across 8 countries without requiring sign‑ups or server‑side processing.

Workflow

• User selects country and enters gross salary
• Tool auto‑detects tax rules and calculates net pay, CTC, and breakdown
• User can compare multiple offers with currency conversion
• User applies 50/30/20 budgeting rule
• Tool projects loan eligibility and retirement savings

Evidence

Like everything on ForgePlug, it's 100% client-side — your salary figures never leave your browser, no signup, works offline.
