About KnowMyGovt
KnowMyGovt is an independent website built for one simple reason: government financial information is harder to understand than it should be.
If you’ve ever tried to figure out your pension contributions, calculate your take-home pay, or claim a benefit you’re entitled to, you already know the problem. Official government websites are written for bureaucrats and lawyers. The rules are scattered across multiple agencies. Half the calculators online use outdated rates. The other half are wrong. Regular workers — the people who actually need this information — are left guessing.
We started KnowMyGovt to fix that, one country at a time.
Who Built This
KnowMyGovt was founded in 2026 by a small independent team. What started as a single-country project to explain pension contributions in plain language quickly grew into a multi-country resource covering Latin America, Southeast Asia, and beyond.
The site is run independently. We’re not affiliated with any government agency, we’re not owned by any bank or financial institution, and we don’t take political positions. Our only goal is making government financial information accessible to the people who need it most — the workers, freelancers, parents, and retirees who deserve clear answers without the runaround.
What We Do
We turn confusing government rules into things you can actually use: accurate calculators, up-to-date rate tables, and plain-language guides that walk you through pensions, taxes, contributions, salary calculations, and worker rights — whatever applies to where you live.
Every tool on the site is built from verified official sources. Every rate table cites where the number came from. When the government changes a rate, we update the page. Trust is built one accurate answer at a time, and that’s how we approach everything we publish.
How We Verify Our Information
KnowMyGovt combines official government research with modern AI tools to stay accurate across multiple countries and languages. Here’s how it actually works:
Official sources only. Every rate, percentage, and number on the site is verified directly against the official government source — pension agencies, tax authorities, labor ministries. We don’t use third-party blogs, accountancy sites, or unofficial summaries. If we can’t verify a value against the official source, we don’t publish it.
AI does the research. Humans do the judgment. We use AI tools to help fetch data from official government websites, compare rates across years, and flag inconsistencies efficiently. But every published figure is reviewed by a human before it goes live. AI accelerates the work — it doesn’t replace editorial oversight.
Sources cited on every page. The official government source is linked directly on every calculator and rate table. If you want to verify something yourself, the link is right there.
Updated as rules change. Government rates change — sometimes monthly, sometimes annually. When they do, we update the affected pages and refresh the verification date.
Who This Is For
KnowMyGovt is built for regular people. The employee trying to figure out how much pension they’ll have at retirement. The freelancer trying to understand their tax obligations. The new parent figuring out maternity benefits. The worker who got laid off and wants to know what severance they’re owed.
If you’ve ever landed on a government website, gotten lost in legal jargon, and walked away more confused than when you started — this site is for you.
