About Other Tools
Tools that don't fit a single category but show up in daily life. Salary and savings calculators, diet calories, real-estate fees, expense splits, QR codes, color conversions — at least one or two are part of someone's day, every day.
Many tools are Korea-specific: salary take-home reflects national pension/health/employment/income tax accurately; real-estate acquisition tax covers multi-home surcharges; school-grade calculator accounts for both the abolished early-entry rule (2009) and the 2023 international-age law. These fill gaps that global tools simply don't address.
Personal-finance and tax tools change every year as laws and rates update; we refresh them as quickly as we can. Still, all results are estimates — for real transactions or filings, confirm with the official systems (Wetax, Hometax) or a tax professional.

FAQ
When are tax/rate figures from?
Most Korean rates are as of 2026. Items that change every January (car tax discount, pension cap, minimum wage, etc.) are updated quickly; still, verify before filing.
Why is the take-home slightly different from my pay stub?
Tax-free items (200k meal allowance, commuting allowance), dependents, special deductions vary by employer. The tool uses standard defaults; ±tens of thousands is normal.
Can I rely on a result for a real transaction?
No — treat results as estimates. For real estate, verify via Wetax or a CPA; for taxes, file via Hometax or your tax office.
Is this medical or legal advice?
No. BMI/BMR/calorie tools are general references, not diagnoses; tax/lease tools are not legal advice. Consult a professional for important decisions.
Can I share results?
Most tools allow copying the result text. Some (QR generator, color converter, etc.) export images.
The goal is a single place for everyday Korean calculation / conversion / verification, filling high-search gaps first. If a tool you want is missing, drop a note via the email or Discord at the bottom of the home page.
