Problem

For employees or self-employed individuals in their 50s, there are over 20 types of government subsidies, tax reductions, and welfare benefits they may be eligible for, including Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, National Pension additional contributions, Health Insurance Premium reductions, local government lifelong education vouchers, and National Health Checkups. However, each is managed by different ministries and application websites, and eligibility requirements are complex, making it practically impossible to grasp the full picture of what benefits one can receive. Government24's 'Subsidy24' exists but has inaccurate eligibility determination, and people often miss application deadlines, forgoing hundreds of thousands to millions of KRW (approx. $75 to $6,750) in benefits annually.

Solution

On the web, users input age, income, assets, household size, employment status, and residential area once. The tool collectively diagnoses eligibility for 20+ types of government subsidies, reductions, and benefits targeting people in their 50s. For each eligible item, it organizes expected benefit amount, application method, and deadline, and sends email/KakaoTalk reminders 30 days before deadlines. It re-diagnoses eligibility quarterly to reflect policy changes.

Target: Employees, self-employed, and freelancers in their 50s-60s with annual income under 50 million KRW (approx. $37,500), dual-income households interested in government support programs but lacking time to check individually.

Revenue Model: Basic eligibility check for 5 items is free. Subscription for full 20+ item integrated check + application deadline alerts: 4,900 KRW/month (approx. $3.70), and affiliate commission per application assistance connection.
