About MyPayCal
Why bilingual tax tools matter
MyPayCal exists because every US tax tool I tried fell into one of three buckets: English-only, charging enterprise prices, or demanding a signup for what should be free.
There are more than 34 million Hispanic Americans in the US labor force (BLS, 2025). They earn, pay, save, and plan in two languages every day. But almost no tax tool serves them properly — Spanish versions are afterthoughts, auto-translated and riddled with errors.
I'm a builder who got tired of running take-home pay math by hand for friends and family. So I built one that's actually bilingual from day 1: same formulas, same accuracy, real translations — not Google Translate output.
Who built MyPayCal
Milian Lastre Zequeira created and maintains MyPayCal: the bilingual take-home pay calculator, the 50-state tax engine and the Take-Home Index. Every state figure is checked against that state's own publication, with the source kept next to the data.
