Built for freelancers, not accountants
Most tax tools assume you're filing in the US or Europe. The rules here are different — and they change often. TaxCalc.asia covers the actual tax systems freelancers deal with in Southeast Asia and India: TRAIN Law, PPh Final, Form B, Section 44ADA, and more. Price your projects with confidence instead of guessing what you'll owe.
Why It Works
A calculator grounded in each tax law
Every result comes from a country-specific calculation, not a generic percentage.
Philippines models the TRAIN Law choice between the 8% flat rate and graduated brackets, with the ₱250,000 zero band built in. Indonesia weighs PPh Final at 0.5% against progressive rates under UU HPP and the PTKP allowance. Malaysia applies Form B's progressive table with the personal reliefs freelancers can claim. Thailand uses the 50% standard deduction and the escalating personal bands. Vietnam compares the 2025 schedule with the 2026 reform, and India models Section 44ADA alongside the new and old regimes.
That's why two freelancers with the same gross income in different countries get different answers — not because the math differs, but because the law does. Enter your annual earnings, choose your situation, and the calculator shows total tax, monthly equivalent, take-home pay, and your effective rate.
Start with the number, then go deeper: price work with the rate calculator, compare Upwork and Fiverr on the platform fee tool, estimate a retirement target, and read the country guides when you're deciding where to live. Everything is free and runs entirely in your browser.
