====== Income Tax Calculator ======
===== What is it? =====

This [[http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=292424988&mt=8|app]] allows you to calculate your take-home pay and how much income tax you are paying. Currently, it only supports the Australian tax system - however the are plans of making this support others (I need information!).

===== User Feedback/Request Register =====

Any user requests or bugs will be placed here

^ Feature request (User or Dev) ^ Dev comments ^ Scheduled for ^      
| User Feedback tool | Present option to say Yes/No to accuracy of calculations. Feedback is sent over the wire as a normal HTTP request (Probably HTTP POST) | Version 1.4+ |
| Classic Mode | Introduce a new user preference to bring back to old screen (the less prettier screen) to users | No longer planned |
| User state tracking. If you are interupted (i.e. phone call) you will now be able to return to it. | Announced feature on product spec (itunes) | Version 1.3.0 |
| Updating the salary in the text field should also adjust slider | Was originally planned for a 1.2 release but I wanted it out sooner. | Version 1.2.1 |
| Fix up keyboard so that it shows the numbers first | Was originally planned for 1.2, but de-scoped (descoping is good :P) | Version 1.2.1 |
| Much better bounds checking for Salary values | Bugfix. You will no longer be able to enter in values more than 6 figures. | Version 1.2.1 |
| HELP Payments can no longer be ticked if the user is NOT a resident | Bugfix (should have been in 1.2) | Version 1.2.1 |
| Tax calculator should not be based off annual salary initially. The calculations should be factored in | The App already supports this but the UI does not. So it is only a matter of making a UI change to support this functionality. Was originally scheduled for 1.11, but it never saw the light of day    | Version 1.2 |
| Medicare levy is now factored in | Calculations will be Automatic. | Version 1.2 |
| UI Redesign and animations between screens | Need to make it more prettier! yeah | Version 1.2 |
| Tax calculator will now read from plist files containing information on tax | Allowing for remote upgrades in the future | Version 1.2 | 
| Better tax calculations | No longer using floating point to calculate the amount. Lets see how integers work. | Version 1.2 |
| Support for the [[http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/rates/it.htm|UK Tax System]], and [[http://www.ird.govt.nz/how-to/taxrates-codes/itaxsalaryandwage-incometaxrates.html|NZ Tax System]] | In review to be added ||
