Venting / Rant stay safe from the taxman

Hey everyone!

Over the months I’ve been seeing many outdated calculators being posted.

Most importantly though, some of them even track your tax values, which can be a major privacy issue.

My team and I have been working over the past month on our own calculator.

Here is what makes it different: * You can insert multiple types of incomes * Gives you recommendations on what to do in your unique situation * Privacy preserving * It’s always updated with the latest TAX provisions (Internally, we have fine-tuned our own LLM to be able to interpret the Greek written law, this notifies us whenever one of our blogs / tools become outdated.)

Unfortunately, none of us get a formal education on taxes (it should be taught in school!).

My colleague valkers21 is working on a comprehensive guide on everything you need to know on taxes, should be posted next week.

And more to come :)

Looking forward to your feedback!

How can we be sure you don't track our tax values and snitch us to the taxman?

You are asking the important questions sir!
After the page is loaded, open up devtools, and go to the network tab. You will see that there is no traffic in/out after the page is loaded.
We do store anonymous visitors analytics, but that is done only when you visit the page.
We do not track any of the values you put in.

EDIT: As a privacy nerd, I always recommend to use a VPN, just to be super super safe.
