Hey PH Community! Filipino indie maker here π
Hey everyone!
I'm Draven from the Philippines π΅π β a self-taught
indie maker who just launched my first product here
on Product Hunt today.
I built SmartSalaryTool.com β a free Philippine salary
calculator that helps Filipino employees verify if their
payslip deductions are correct.
A bit of backstory: I kept noticing that people around
me β friends, family, coworkers β had no idea if their
employer was computing their SSS, PhilHealth, and tax
deductions correctly. With SSS now at 15% and PhilHealth
at 5% in 2026, the numbers changed significantly and
most workers just trust whatever appears on their payslip.
So I spent months building a tool that does the math
for them β free, no sign-up, works on mobile, and gives
results in 30 seconds.
Beyond the calculator I also built 40+ free guides
covering Philippine labor law, SSS benefits, Pag-IBIG
loans, BIR tax, and employee rights β all written in
plain English for everyday Filipino workers.
It's been a solo journey β no team, no funding, just
a laptop and a genuine belief that every Filipino
deserves to know exactly where their money goes.
Would love to connect with other indie makers here
especially those building tools for underserved or
emerging markets. Always open to feedback! π
