Five common mistakes
- Mixing units — entering height in centimeters but weight in pounds. Tax Calculator can't tell, and gives a confidently wrong answer.
- Forgetting decimals — typing "170" when you mean "1.70m". One extra digit changes everything.
- Rounding inputs too aggressively — small inputs to a sensitive formula amplify error.
- Trusting the output absolutely — a calculation from Tax Calculator is a data point. Real decisions need more context.
- Using the wrong formula entirely — there's a closely related formula for almost every calc. Check that Tax Calculator is the one you actually need.

For quick reference and screening, yes. For binding decisions (medical, legal, financial), Tax Calculator's result should be cross-checked with the relevant professional source.
Why does the result include a range, not just one number?

Yes — it implements the standard, published formula. The numerical output matches what any reputable reference calculator would produce.
