What’s new
Version 1.1.0 · Updated October 8, 2026
Job Switch asks for the legal contract end date separately from the last working day, shows accrued holiday allowance and 13th month in the settlement, a cash-buffer estimate, payroll tax credit and WW application guidance, and a settlement waterfall chart. Offer Check separates the base monthly estimate from annual extras, shows where the gross goes (cash anatomy bar and a side-by-side compare), flags stated probation periods and unknown employee pension contributions, and treats the 30% ruling as "review needed" when extra pay decides the salary test. Timeline gets a 12-month Defense Horizon. The Dashboard shows a savings runway line. Holiday Pot and 13th Month now show "Net: review needed" instead of a flat-rate net. The Contract Locker links to official renter guidance, and Job Switch links to official guidance for an unpaid transition payment. Estimates carry more explicit review states instead of confident numbers, and smoother result reveals respect reduced motion.
