About Any Help Me

Any Help Me is a collection of 123 free online calculators and tools, each available in English and Korean. They cover everyday financial, property, health, developer and general-purpose tasks, from working out take-home pay in five countries to converting units, generating barcodes and compressing PDFs.

This page describes how the site actually works. Everything below can be checked from your own browser's developer tools rather than taken on trust, and where there is an exception to a general claim, the exception is stated.

What Runs in Your Browser

Almost every tool here computes entirely on your device. Nothing you type into a calculator is transmitted, and the site has no accounts, no logins and no server-side storage of user input. That is not a policy decision that could quietly change, as there is no server component to send it to.

The heavier tools use Web Workers so the page stays responsive: PDF compression, GIF creation and video conversion all process files in a background thread. The libraries those workers depend on (pdf-lib, pdf.js, omggif, mp4box and mp4-muxer) are served from this domain rather than loaded from a CDN at runtime, so opening one of those tools does not contact a third party. Your files never leave your machine.

The site also loads no web fonts. Text is rendered with the system font stack already present on your device, which avoids a font request to an external host and is the reason pages render immediately rather than after a font download.

The One Exception

The Currency Converter is the only tool that makes a network request. It fetches exchange rates from a public service built on European Central Bank reference data, published once per working day. What is sent is the currency codes and the date range. We never transmit the amount you are converting, which is applied locally after the rate arrives.

Advertising and Analytics

This site carries advertising and uses Google Analytics, and it would be misleading to describe it otherwise. What we can tell you is how both are configured.

Consent defaults to denied. Before you make a choice in the consent banner, all four Google consent signals (analytics storage, ad storage, ad user data and ad personalisation) are set to denied, and they stay denied unless you accept. Nothing is collected first and asked about afterwards.

Which external hosts the site may contact at all is enforced by a Content Security Policy served as an HTTP header, not by convention. The list is short and you can read it in the response headers of any page here. Our Privacy Policy sets out what is collected, by whom, and how to opt out.

How the Tools Are Built

The site is built with Astro and React Islands and generated as static files, which is why most pages carry very little JavaScript and why the interactive part of a page loads separately from the text around it. It is served from Cloudflare's edge network.

Every third-party dependency uses a permissive licence, such as MIT, Apache-2.0 or BSD. This is a deliberate constraint rather than a coincidence: where a capability was only available under a copyleft licence, the capability was dropped instead. Our Licenses page lists the libraries in use and their licences.

Accuracy, and Where It Stops

The explanatory content on each tool page is written against what that tool's code actually implements, not against a general description of the subject. When a page states a tax band, a premium rate or a conversion constant, that figure is the one the calculator uses, and the worked examples are computed from it.

Where a calculation is a simplification, the page says so rather than implying precision it does not have. The Korean income tax estimate is described as an approximation because the real withholding follows a detailed published schedule; the US state tax figure is described as a flat approximation because it is not each state's own brackets and deductions.

Rates and thresholds change, and a tool can be out of date between a change and an update. If you find a figure that no longer matches the official source, telling us is genuinely useful Please see the contact page for what to include.

Disclaimer

These tools are for general information. They are not financial, legal, medical or tax advice, and no calculation here should be the only basis for a decision that matters. Tax law, insurance rates and regulations change frequently and vary by jurisdiction. Consult a qualified professional before acting on anything with financial, legal or medical consequences.
