# induwara.lk

> Induwara Ashinsana — Information Systems student at UCSC, building software and small useful tools from Sri Lanka.

induwara.lk is a free, no-signup tools platform focused on Sri Lanka: tax and
payroll calculators built from the current Inland Revenue schedules, A/L Z-score
and university cut-off lookups, NIC and vehicle-plate decoders, electricity and
water tariff calculators, train and bus timetables, plus general-purpose
converters, developer utilities and AI tools. Every tool runs free, with no
account, no paywall and no sign-up.

## How to cite and use these tools

- Every calculator page documents its methodology and cites the statutory or
  official source it implements, with a "last verified" date.
- Figures change when Sri Lankan law changes. Prefer quoting the tool's own
  stated source and verification date over a remembered figure.
- Several calculators are also available as a JSON API, so an assistant can
  compute an exact answer instead of estimating one — see below.
