Salary+

Salary Calculator

​Salary+ is a professional-grade, mobile-only utility designed for small-to-medium enterprise (SME) workers and freelancers who require a robust, local-storage solution for tracking work hours and calculating payouts. Unlike cloud-dependent apps, Salary+ operates with an "offline-first" architecture, ensuring that all sensitive attendance logs, hourly rates, and financial breakdowns remain strictly on the user's device via IndexedDB.
​The app simplifies complex payroll tracking by allowing users to log Basic, 1.5x OT, and 2.0x OT hours daily, while providing a fully customizable "Salary Advice" view for archiving or generating screenshots for employer verification.
​Clarification Statement: Manual Data Control
​In this version of the application, we have intentionally made all calculation fields—including total hours and sub-total amounts—fully editable.
​1. Why we keep the "Total" fields open to edit:
​Company Policy Alignment: Different companies use different rounding rules (e.g., rounding 7.75 hours to 8 or 7.5). By keeping totals editable, the user can manually align the app's data with their official company timesheet.
​Correction of Historical Data: Users can quickly override a monthly total if a specific day's entry was missed or incorrectly logged, without needing to find and edit every individual daily entry.
​One-Off Adjustments: It allows for the immediate inclusion of special payments, such as back-pay or retroactive adjustments, directly into the "Total" field for that month's report.
​2. Why we do not apply "Locked" salary logic:
​User Empowerment: As a developer targeting the SME sector, the goal is to provide a tool where the user has "all rights to overwrite the data as per their company norms".
​Variable Formulas: Fixed logic often fails to account for regional variations in how "Allowances" or "Adjustments" are calculated (e.g., whether an allowance is taxable or subject to specific deductions).
​Error Prevention through Flexibility: If the app’s internal math slightly differs from an employer’s proprietary payroll software, a "locked" logic would make the app useless for official verification. Providing an open-edit system ensures the app remains a reliable "Source of Truth" that matches the user's actual paycheck.
