It would be nice if there were explainers beside the figures. Immediately upon looking at the default page we see a base salary of $100,000 gives taxable income of $69,015.64. How?



base salary - nontaxable expenses

non taxable expenses = RRSP + CPP + EI (plus anything else you add to the list)

I'll look at revising the instructions to make it more clear that the tables below directly impact the calculation. Would that help?


I think I can lay out the summary fields a bit differently to reflect how the calculation is being made, so its more obvious to the user whats going on. I'll see if I can do that later today. Thanks for the input.
