[APP] WinPayDay- Paycheck Estimator beta 0.2

[walkeryan]

I decided to make this app out of necessity as I (as I'm sure some of you do as well) work a job where my hours vary from pay to pay. I created this program to estimate how much my paycheck is going to be. Once your information is entered all you will need to do is enter in the amount of hours and it will give you a break down of everything that should be on your paycheck.

This app is in it early beta stages and it will have some bugs which I'll note below. I figured I'd release this to you guys to see how many people are interested and see if I should continue development and also get some feedback from you guys.

Instructions:
Install the cab file.
Run Winpayday.
Menu >> Settings
Enter in your data:
Pay period- How often your paid
Pay Rate- The amount per hour
Overtime rate- How much your paid for overtime(ex 1.5 = Time and a half)

Enter your taxes withheld Percentages. A good way to get these are to take a recent paycheck and divide the amount taken out for each by the Gross Pay. Then obviously move the decimal two places to the right. I understand these numbers will change from week to week depending on how much you make, tax rates, etc. but this will get us as close to the actual amount for next weeks paycheck. I leave mine based on a 40 hour work week and its never off more than a dollar each way.

Mark if your benefits are taken out before taxes (Most are).
Mark if you have Medical, Dental, or any other amount taken out. Then enter in the amount taken out per pay.

After this is all set up there should be no reason to have to come back into the settings screen (Unless we get a raise which would be nice). Everything is saved in settings.xml in the application folder under Program Files where ever it was installed. You can copy this to your SD card to make a backup in case you need to reinstall/reflash.

I know it doesn't look pretty but I needed something that was functional and easy on the eyes and I see no reason to skin this app but if there is an interest I'll take suggestions.

Again this is my first released app so please if you have any problems list them here and I'll try to address them as fast as I can. Any other comments/questions/suggestions please feel free to post, Thanks guys.

Disclaimer- The Default Values that come preloaded in the application do not represent anyones actual salary, including my own, nor do they represent what I think you should be making, so back off, lol. This application does not connect to the Internet in anyway and all the personal financial data you enter stays in the settings.xml file and is not shared with anyone, including myself.

Going to give it a try, just started new job so don't know what my deductions are until next week. So no full trial until then.

If you guys have any suggestions or requests shoot them out there. I'm working on skinning the app right now and making it more finger friendly. Stay tuned!

This would work great but I work in a bar/restaurant so I doubt the program could take into account a huge list of taxes that get taken out, percentage of credit card tips taken out, but if it did I would check it out and give it a try.
