A formula engine, with a salary simulator before you commit
Every company has at least one pay line whose rule matches nobody else's: an allowance derived from basic plus transport, a deduction with a cap, a rate that varies by nationality. Instead of waiting for a code change, you build the formula yourself from salary components, numbers and operators, then test it on a real employee in a simulator that shows the result and the net before you commit. The final calculation still runs on the server, so what the simulator shows is what actually gets paid.
How it works
- 1
Build the formula
Pick components, numbers and operators instead of writing code.
- 2
Test it
Run it against a real employee and see the result step by step.
- 3
Simulate the payslip
The simulator shows gross, deductions and net after the change.
- 4
Commit it
The formula becomes part of the next period's calculation.
What's included
- Visual formula building from salary components, numbers and operators — no code
- Reference any other salary component inside a formula
- Test a formula against a real employee before committing
- A salary simulator showing the effect of any change on gross, deductions and net
- Fixed, percentage or formula value per component
- A calculation order guaranteeing a formula reads earlier components' results
- Final calculation always server-side, so the simulation never diverges from the payslip
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need technical skills?
- No. A formula is assembled by picking components and operators in the interface, and the result is shown immediately against a sample employee.
- Can a formula reference another pay line?
- Yes, and that is the most common use: an allowance computed as a percentage of basic plus housing, for example.
- What if I get the formula wrong?
- The simulator catches it before you commit, because you see the final number on a real employee rather than a theoretical example.
