I get paid a base salary plus variable commissions. The paystubs come into Pocketsmith (love it!) as a combined net-value (after taxes), but I want to track them separately. My paystubs don't tell me what portion is "net commission" and I got tired of using my calculator. This little command-line Python3 calculator does the math for me now!
