Divya Akash Dutta
Divya Akash Dutta is the creator and publisher of In-Hand Calculator.
He builds practical web tools designed to make complicated calculations easier to understand. In-Hand Calculator came out of a straightforward observation: Indian salary packages are quoted in a unit nobody is paid in, and the tools available for converting one to the other mostly hide their assumptions.
What he is responsible for here
- Researching the tax, provident fund, gratuity and professional tax rules the calculators apply.
- Writing and maintaining the calculation engine and its test suite.
- Writing the explanatory content.
- Reviewing the figures when the rules change, and publishing corrections when something is wrong.
What he is not
Stated plainly, because sites in this category routinely imply otherwise: Divya Akash Dutta is not a Chartered Accountant, a tax professional, a financial adviser or a lawyer, and nothing on this site should be read as advice from one.
What the site offers instead is transparency. Every rule is sourced, every assumption is shown, and the arithmetic is open to inspection. Where a question needs professional judgement rather than arithmetic, it needs a professional.
