Abacus, Zeal's (formerly Puzzl) Gross-to-Net Calculation API, lets developers access compliant payroll calculations for all 50 states and territories in the United States via a simple API.
Hello world!
We’re super proud to announce Abacus, the world’s first modern Gross-To-Net Payroll Tax Calculator API.
To this day, calculating an American employee’s taxes has remained a cumbersome and enigmatic process. How do you take into consideration 11,000+ local tax jurisdictions across all 50 states? How do you deal with the 25,000 tax updates every year?
Abacus has distilled an otherwise complex and puzzling operation into an accurate, easy-to-use API that allows all types of platforms to integrate payroll tax calculations into their product. Give us an employee’s basic information and their gross pay, and we’ll get you back your employer taxes, their employee taxes, and their take-home pay—it’s that simple.
Our goal with Abacus is to empower:
- Neobanks and Credit Unions to piece together our tax logic with their payment infra to build their very own payroll experience
- Commissions-based SaaS companies to deal with tax logic in complex industries
- Gig economy platforms to predict net pay before a shift starts, providing an almost Uber-like experience to workers
- Insurance companies to lookup and research local and state tax codes
- Payroll and accounting companies to replace their internal, legacy tax calculators
- ...and many more platforms to build amazing products on top of our tax API
We’re so happy to share Abacus with you all! Puzzl believes in making US tax and policy more accessible to the world, and this brings us one step closer to achieving that goal.
We’re excited to hear your thoughts! The team and I will be around all day to answer your questions, so feel free to comment!
Wow looks amazing, congrats Puzzl team!! We’re going through the hassle of registering for state taxes now and it’s a complete nightmare. I can’t imagine how complex it will be for employees! Awesome product.
