About HonsMoney — Mission, Official Formula Standards & YMYL Principles
HonsMoney (honsmoney.com) provides multilingual tax, salary, pension, and living money calculators for foreign residents and locals in Japan and South Korea, built strictly on primary government formulas.
1. Why We Built HonsMoney
Navigating payslips (給与明細書), withholding tax (源泉徴収), resident tax (住民税), year-end tax adjustment forms (年末調整), pension lump-sum refunds (脱退一時金), and Korean 3.3% freelance tax refunds in a foreign language is daunting. Created by an expat operator living in Japan, HonsMoney lets anyone calculate Japan and Korea taxes in Korean, Japanese, English, Chinese, or Vietnamese.
2. Our 4 Core YMYL & Data Integrity Principles
1) Primary Government Sources Only: Every calculator implements formulas published by Japan NTA (国税庁), Kyokai Kenpo, Japan Pension Service, and Korea NTS (국세청), with direct source links and verification dates. 2) Step-by-Step Transparency: We show every intermediate deduction and bracket calculation. 3) Bilingual Official Terms: We display original Japanese and Korean administrative terms alongside translations so you can match them directly to official forms. 4) 100% Client-Side Privacy: Your salary and income numbers never leave your browser.
3. What We Never Do
We never recommend specific investment stocks, broker loans, or provide individualized legal/tax filing agency services.
