  Salary Calculator - Made with Java

Inspiration

I wanted to create a project that promoted financial literacy, and allowed users to see how much they make per year (using their inputted data) and getting an accurate calculation of how much taxes that the user needs to pay.

What it does

The program is accessed though the Java terminal. Allowing users to input how many hours they work per week, and how much they work per hour. The program takes how much hours the user works, multiplying it by 52 (the amount of weeks in a year), and again multiplying it by their hourly wage.

How I built it

I used IntelliJ Java JVM to store, and compile the code.

Challenges we ran into

A major challenge that I ran into was setting up the tax calculations. I had to make sure that the computer would calculate the tax owed based on the total yearly income.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I was able to find out how to calculate taxes correctly, regardless of the beginner learning curve. I was able to figure out a minor issue that is now resolved.

What I learned

How to create functions in Java, and using if/else statements correctly.

What's next for Salary Calculator

Some ideas I have for my first project is to put the Java code I wrote, and put it on a website. With a website, I will able to create a clean interface for the users, so the app is enjoyable to use.
