Tips for an accurate result
Cross-check a big number against a second source (a bank statement, a pay stub, an official rate table) before you act on it.
Revisit the calculation whenever your income, rate, or balance changes materially — a one-time calculation goes stale fast.
Inflation and rate changes compound over years, not months — for anything long-term, re-run the calculation at least once a year.
Double-check whether a figure you're entering is monthly or annual — mixing the two up is the most common source of a wildly wrong result.
