Problem

It tracks earnings across platforms, estimates IRAS taxes automatically, and shows real hourly returns so users can add S$600–1200 monthly without burnout or regulatory surprises.

Target Audience

Middle-income Singaporean workers and families earning S$4K–8K monthly

Differentiator

Curated database of Singapore-specific gigs with verified success rates from users in the same S$4K–8K income band and industry. Includes regulatory guidance for proper tax reporting.
