Ananya Menon writes about personal finance for ToolMira, covering income tax, EPF and pensions, mutual funds and SIPs, loans, GST, and the everyday money rules that affect salaried Indians.

Her approach is simple: take a confusing rule — a wage ceiling, a tax slab, a withdrawal restriction — and break it down with worked examples at real salary levels, so you can see exactly where you stand instead of guessing from headlines.

Every article on ToolMira follows the same editorial standards:

• Worked examples over jargon — every rule is shown with actual numbers at multiple salary levels.
• Flagging uncertainty honestly — when sources report conflicting figures, articles say so directly rather than picking one and presenting it as settled.
• No financial advice — articles explain how rules work; decisions specific to your situation belong with a qualified advisor or your HR/payroll team.
• Free calculators to check your own numbers — most articles pair with one of ToolMira's 130+ free calculators, so you can run your own figures instead of trusting ours.
