What this calculation assumes
Calculators model a full tax or contract year in one step. Money is carried at full precision through the calculation and rounded once for display, to the penny for exact amounts and to the nearest pound where a figure is labelled an estimate.
- Pay-period rounding in real payroll can make the yearly total differ by a small amount
- Monthly figures are an annual result divided by twelve, not a payroll month
- A part-year start or leaver date is not modelled unless the page offers it
