How we approach accuracy

Tool results depend on the inputs, units, formulas, rounding and any third-party data source. We aim to make assumptions visible and welcome corrections through the contact page. This site does not claim that every estimate replaces professional advice, official tax rules, engineering codes or a destination platform's own counting rules.
