Who we are and why we built these tools
China Finance Tools exists because figuring out money stuff in China is harder than it should be. Exchange rates are confusing, mortgage calculations use a system nobody outside China understands, and the tax code reads like it was written to keep accountants employed.
We built these tools to be the thing we wished we had when we first moved to China: simple, accurate, no-signup calculators that just work. No paywalls, no "upgrade to see your result" nonsense.
Wang Lei — Lead Developer & Finance Writer. Former investment banker in Shanghai, now building tools that make Chinese finance accessible to everyone.
Chen Yifei — Data & Tax Specialist. CPA with 8 years of experience in cross-border tax consulting. Makes sure our tax calculator actually matches what you'll see on your payslip.
Zhang Wei — Currency & Markets Analyst. Tracks CNY movements daily, writes our exchange rate analysis, and ensures our rates stay current.
All financial data on this site is sourced from official channels: exchange rates from the European Central Bank, tax brackets from China's State Taxation Administration, and mortgage rates from the People's Bank of China LPR quotes. We update rates at least once per business day.
Our calculators are for informational purposes only. They should give you a solid estimate, but always verify with your bank or tax advisor before making financial decisions based on these numbers.
