Why I Built SisaGaji.com

I used to think "take-home pay" was just your salary minus lunch money. Then I got my first payslip.

Suddenly, I was staring at numbers that didn't add up. BPJS this, PPh21 that, and a line called "potongan lainnya" that looked suspiciously like daylight robbery. I opened Google, typed "cara hitung gaji bersih," and what I got was a collection of outdated spreadsheets, confusing tax tables, and calculators that looked like they were built in 2004—and last updated in 2005.

So I made SisaGaji.com. Not because I'm a financial guru. But because I was tired of pretending I understood how much I actually made.

This tool was born out of frustration: mine, and probably yours too. It's for people who want to stop guessing and start budgeting. For anyone who's ever looked at their salary and thought, "Wait, where did it all go?"

I built it for normal people with normal problems, not accountants with multiple monitors. Just a clean, no-BS tool that tells you how much of your salary actually stays in your pocket after deductions eat their share.
