Mike's Latest Windmill Tilting Venture

I am pleased to announce that release 0.01 of the PaysWell Payroll Witholding Tax Calculator is available for download at:

http://www.goingware.com/payswell/

PaysWell(tm) is Free Software, licensed under the GNU General Public License.

PaysWell is an OpenOffice.org spreadsheet. Other formats such as Gnumeric will follow in due time.

This initial release is incomplete and only supports the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. The rest of Canada will be supported soon, with other countries to follow.

If and when PaysWell's SourceForge project is approved, PaysWell's homepage will be http://payswell.sourceforge.net/ For now that just gets a 404 page. A press release will be issued once the SourceForge project goes live.

For now, we're discussing it on the gnucash-user mailing list.

The reason I created my own spreadsheet is that GnuCash is not yet able to support witholding calculations. The reason I decided to GPL and release it is to help GnuCash achieve World Domination and crush Intuit for the crime of charging $199 a year for their undocumented QuickBooks format tax table "service". Intuit makes millions selling information that every national, state and provincial government in the world provides for free, often at considerable taxpayer expense by mailing tax tables in hardcopy form to every business in the land.

PaysWell is a trademark of GoingWare Inc.

Thank you for your attention.

Mike
