Before you trust the result

Check the inputs that matter most: dates, rates, units, costs, and any optional fields you skipped. A calculator can only work with the numbers entered here, so use the result as a decision check rather than a final answer when money, health, tax, legal, or safety consequences are involved.

If the result feels surprising, change one input at a time and watch which number moves. That usually shows the real lever behind the decision.
