About TaxMetra
One page that answers the only question that matters on payday: what actually lands in my account?
Why we built it
"How much will I owe?" shouldn't require tax software, an account, or forty minutes of clicking through upsells. TaxMetra gives you a defensible estimate in the time it takes to type your salary.
How it works
Published brackets, standard deductions, allowances and payroll rates for the US, UK, Canada, Australia and Germany, encoded as a small engine that runs entirely in your browser. No servers see your numbers.
Where it stops
TaxMetra models the core arithmetic of wages: brackets, deductions, payroll tax, withholding. It deliberately skips credits, investment income and edge cases. For filing, use real software or a professional.
Who it's for
Employees comparing offers, freelancers setting aside money each quarter, and anyone who wants to see their bracket ladder fill up line by line instead of trusting a single mystery number.
Accuracy
Bracket tables follow each country's published rates for the modeled years. Simplifications — flat-state approximations, ignored surtaxes, step brackets in Germany — are listed on the Full Return tab of every result.
Privacy first
There is no login, no save-to-cloud, no data collection. Your income stays on your machine, which is exactly where a salary belongs.
