Update
Accuracy Fixes and a Smoother Mobile Experience
A round of checks on the salary engines and fixes for the issues people ran into most on phones.
- Net to Gross calculator: low salaries now return the correct gross. Because COLA is paid on top of the salary, the gross you need can be lower than the net you want, and the calculator now finds it
- Net to Gross calculator: Start Month and End Month now work, so a part-year job gives the same result as the Gross to Net calculator
- Net to Gross calculator: the highlighted figure is now the salary to put in the contract, with COLA and bonuses shown separately; every result is checked back against the Gross to Net calculator
- Net to Gross calculator: the gross is now found to the cent of the monthly salary, so entering it in the Gross to Net calculator gives back your target net within a few cents, also when bonuses are included in the target
- Social security: Categories A (under 18) and B now apply only up to the minimum-wage band (€229.44 a week in 2026), as in the official DSS Class 1 table; above it the standard 10% rate and cap apply
- Payroll tax: the tax band is now chosen from your projected yearly income including bonuses, so payslips near a band edge no longer deduct too little tax
- Amounts typed with a thousands comma, such as "25,000", are now read correctly in all calculators
- Calculators load faster and appear above the fold on phones
- Company dashboard and payslip pages fit small screens, with a single-row bottom menu
- Better iPhone support: home screen icon, no unwanted zoom when tapping a field, and pinch-zoom still available
- v4.2.0
