Salary Calculator

This Salary Calculator is a Python-based command-line tool designed to help users determine the additional amount needed on top of their desired salary to account for taxes. It takes into consideration factors such as current salary, desired increment, daily travel costs, and the number of physical workdays per week.

Getting Started

A. Prerequisites

Conda environment manager
Python version 3.11

B. Setting Up the Environment

Create and activate a Conda environment:
- Create: conda create -n salary_calc_env python=3.11 -y
