Mahi Patil

Software Engineer & Finance Writer · Melbourne, Australia

Mahi Patil is a Melbourne-based software engineer with a deep interest in personal finance and long-term investing. He built Dolaro.com.au to fill a gap he kept running into: accurate, up-to-date Australian finance calculators that most people simply can’t find for free.

With a background in software engineering, Mahi approaches personal finance the same way he approaches code — with a focus on correctness, transparency, and removing unnecessary complexity. The calculators on Dolaro apply the correct ATO rate schedules, HECS/HELP bands, and state-specific stamp duty rules rather than simplified approximations.

Mahi invests in Australian and global ETFs, tracks superannuation optimisation strategies, and researches Australian tax, home loan, and FIRE topics firsthand. The guides on Dolaro reflect what he actually looks into when making his own financial decisions.
