Hi. I am using your calculator (which is great - thanks for doing it!) to predict the costs of running an oy in Finland and I am confused about one point. As far as I understand it, Finnish corporate tax is 20%. In the calculator, it appears to calculate it as 25%. ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/32991706/184046377-62c76f65-e053-49b8-8ce9-e3484f762385.png) The related code is `export function getCorporateTax(companyProfit: number) { return Math.max(0, companyProfit * 0.2) } export function companyTaxesFromDividents(dividents: number) { return getCorporateTax(dividents / 0.8) }` So I am not sure what the `/ 0.8` (from the last line of code there) is modelling from real life. Can you explain it? Thanks!
