Tips for better results
Treat every result as an estimate. Real tax depends on your full circumstances such as other income, credits and deductions.
Try best and worst cases. Run the numbers with a slightly lower price or higher cost to see how safe your margin is.
Check the tax year shown under the result. Rates and thresholds change, and the calculator notes which year its figures come from.
