About Salli

Built in Colombo,
for Sri Lanka.

Most money apps are built somewhere else and bent to fit. We started from the opposite end (Sri Lankan rules, Sri Lankan banks, Sri Lankan rupees) and built the honest ledger the country deserved.

Our mission

To give every Sri Lankan a number they can defend: a true picture of their money and a tax figure that holds up, years later.

The principles we won't bend.

01
Deterministic

Money math is computed by the engine, never generated by AI. The same inputs always give the same number.

02
Auditable

A double-entry, append-only ledger. Nothing changes quietly; every figure traces back to a rule.

03
Private

Your data is kept for you, under your control. We build tools, not a data business.

04
Local

Sri Lankan rules, banks and rupees first, not a foreign app bent to fit.

Colombo, Sri Lanka

Local by design.
From Colombo out.

How we got here.

2024
The frustration

Founders juggling salaries, freelance income and foreign fees found no app that understood Sri Lankan tax. Spreadsheets went stale; chatbots guessed.

2025
The engine

We built a deterministic Sri Lankan tax engine on top of a proper double-entry ledger, and tested every rule against the IRD's published rate bands and the 2025 Amendment Act.

2025
The AI, grounded

We added an AI advisor that only reads and explains; it never computes your money. The math stays in the engine.

2026
Salli, for everyone

We opened Salli to salaried professionals, freelancers, foreign-income earners and investors across Sri Lanka.
