Show HN: Tool for freelancers to calculate how much money to set aside

After having been a regular employee for years, I worked as a freelancer for a while. Going into my freelancing life I had no real mental model for how much of the money I earned was truly mine to spend, and how much of it I needed to set aside for taxes, vacations, retirement, and in case I got sick. I modelled this in Excel as best I could and was quite surprised both by how complicated it was to get right, and how much money I actually needed to set aside!<p>As my girlfriend also started freelancing last year, I decided to turn my Excel sheet into a little program she could use too, and in the spirit of sharing and helping others I would hereby like to make it available to you all too :)<p>My biggest take-away so far has been that most people dramatically underestimate how much they need to set aside, and forget to plan adequately for getting sick and for retirement.<p>You can find the tool here: https://howmuch.probsteide.com/<p>Comments, questions, and suggestions are more than welcome!<p>I wish you all a happy Easter Weekend!<p>In case you skipped to the bottom: you can find the tool at https://howmuch.probsteide.com/

Show HN: Employees.fyi – Easily compare U.S. workforce demographic data

Hi HN! We built Employees.fyi to make it easy to compare U.S. workforce demographic data across companies and against industry reference data.<p>In the U.S., the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) requires the collection and submission of demographic workforce data. We collected and organized the publicly available federal data from the EEOC as well as publicly available EEO-1 submissions from individual companies. By doing so, we hope to make it easy to compare U.S. workforce demographic data across companies and against industry reference data.<p>The URL contains your current selection. Just copy the URL and share it!<p>Some examples:<p>* A comparison of 2018 data for the "Professionals" job category across the Information industry, Facebook, and Netflix: <a href="https://employees.fyi/?year=2018&job=PROFESSIONALS&reference=51&company1=Facebook&company2=Netflix" rel="nofollow">https://employees.fyi/?year=2018&job=PROFESSIONALS&reference...</a><p>* A comparison of 2018 data for all job categories across the Finance and Insurance industry, BlackRock, and PayPal: <a href="https://employees.fyi/?year=2018&job=ALL&reference=52&company1=BlackRock&company2=PayPal" rel="nofollow">https://employees.fyi/?year=2018&job=ALL&reference=52&compan...</a><p>* A comparison of 2018 data for the "Exec/Sr Officials & Managers" category across the Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services industry, Accenture, and Nvidia: <a href="https://employees.fyi/?year=2018&job=SRMANAGERS&reference=54&company1=Accenture&company2=Nvidia" rel="nofollow">https://employees.fyi/?year=2018&job=SRMANAGERS&reference=54...</a><p>If there's a company with EEO-1 data that you would like to see, consider submitting a URL via this form: <a href="https://forms.gle/8cVfXpg69fiiemzc8" rel="nofollow">https://forms.gle/8cVfXpg69fiiemzc8</a><p>Let us know what feedback you have for us!
