Show HN: Salary Calculator Spain
lareira-digital.github.ioFirst of all, if I broke any "show hn" rules let me know!
Second, I've been quite frustrated about the salary calculators in Spain, not only for when I was working for others, but also for when I had to calculate the salaries for my employees (and also when I worked and lived abroad, it should be a must for every country!!!). In the end I decided to use (and abuse) the newest tool in the shed (LLMs) and use it to crunch all the massive data about work agreements and parameters to calculate the salaries in Spain.
Some issue I've found is the hundreds and hundreds of agreements that are in spain, our government allows regional and local governments to create their own agreements on top of (if there are) the state ones, whcih makes things a mess and creates employees that never know what they should be getting paid.
This calculator offers a detailed breakdown not only for the employee, comparison with the agreement or closes agreement available, current market rates but also calculates and shows you the cost for the companies, which is another pain point of the available calculators.
I open sourced the project and deployed it in GitHub directly as GPLv3 donationware. I've already registered a domain but I've hit a snag with the .es TLD.
I honestly hope people will find this useful. We shouldn't be illiterate about our salaries. This is robbery. wtf Yup, that's what most people say in our country, now people have numbers to back it up! :) America is similar (unless you are self-employed) but without any of the benefits you get in Spain :) Yeah... that is very true
