About SalaryTruth

We build free, private salary tools for India's 100 million salaried professionals. No login. No data collection. Every calculation runs in your browser — your salary data never leaves your device.

Why we built this

Because most Indian salary tools are either wrong, ad-stuffed, or ask you to hand over your data.

Crores of Indian salaried professionals don't understand their own payslip. They don't know whether their PF is being deducted correctly, whether their HRA exemption is being applied, or whether the CTC on their offer letter is actually what it seems.

Existing tools either have outdated tax constants, wrong PF calculations, or lock basic features behind paywalls and email sign-ups. And almost all of them send your salary data to their servers — data that should be nobody else's business.

SalaryTruth is built differently: everything runs in your browser using JavaScript. There is no backend server. We use PDF.js for local PDF reading and Tesseract.js for on-device OCR. When you close the tab, your data is gone. No account needed. No email required.

Our principles

Four things we refuse to compromise on.

🔒

Privacy first

Your salary is your most private financial data. It stays on your device. No server, no database, no user accounts. Ever.

🎯

India-specific accuracy

FY2024-25 tax slabs, 87A rebate, PF wage ceiling of ₹15,000, HRA metro vs non-metro rules — built correctly for India.

Free forever

Every tool on SalaryTruth is completely free to use, with no limits and no hidden paywalls. That's a promise.

No dark patterns

No fake urgency. No email capture. No results hidden behind a sign-up. If you open a tool, you get the answer.
