Who runs TaxPod

Behind TaxPod is one independent developer who builds lightweight, privacy-conscious utilities. There is no sales team and no data business – just focused tools that stay quick and simple to use.

Why we built it

A salary offer is quoted before tax, but budgeting happens with what actually lands in your account. TaxPod translates a gross salary into realistic take-home pay and shows which brackets drive the result, for both the US federal system and China's individual income tax.
