WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Track income and expenses by category - salary, freelance, business sales, rent, school fees, fuel, groceries, and more.

• Estimate tax for the schedule you fall under:
– Schedule A (employment income, with the 7% pension deduction baked in)
– Schedule B (rental income, individual or company)
– Schedule C Category B (small business - gross sales)
– VAT (15%, with mandatory-registration alerts at 70%, 85%, 95% of the 2,000,000 ETB annual threshold)
– Withholding tax (3% on goods over 20,000 ETB, services over 10,000 ETB; 30% if the supplier has no TIN)
– Pension (employee 7%, employer 11%, capped at 15,000 ETB pensionable salary)

• Tap any salary entry to see the breakdown: gross, employee pension, income tax, take-home - exactly what your employer should be doing.

• "Available to spend" hero shows what's left of this month's income after tax and pension are carved out - separate from your bank balance, so you always know how much is genuinely yours.
