What is this tool?
The TDS Calculator is a simple browser-based utility made for practical business planning. It is not designed to replace a professional consultation, but it helps you avoid a completely blank starting point. You can enter basic information, review a result, and then decide whether you need website, marketing, accounting, GST, or branding support.
Assistly WS is a new founder-led agency, so these tools are also part of the honest support approach. Instead of pushing you directly into a package, the goal is to help you understand the factors that affect cost, documents, timelines, and decisions.
How to use it step by step
- Enter realistic details instead of ideal guesses.
- Review the result as a planning estimate or working draft.
- Note the assumptions that affect the number or output.
- Open the related service or template if you need a next step.
- Send the result on WhatsApp if you want a human review.
Cost, factors, or usage table
| Input quality | Better inputs create more useful planning results. |
|---|---|
| Business type | A local service business, ecommerce brand, freelancer, and registered company may need different follow-up steps. |
| Urgency | Urgent work can increase cost or reduce review time. |
| Compliance impact | Tax and compliance tools should be treated as estimates until verified. |
Common mistakes
- Treating an estimate as a final quote without reviewing scope.
- Ignoring documents, access, content, or approvals needed for execution.
- Using old tax or compliance assumptions without checking current applicability.
- Comparing only price and not timeline, support, clarity, and quality.
- Not keeping a copy of the final details you want to share with a service provider.
