Accuracy and Limitations
Results are gross pay before tax, benefits, unpaid leave, overtime, bonuses, and payroll rounding. A fixed raise uses the same basis as the entered current pay.
Keep units consistent, use measurements that represent the actual situation, retain full precision during the calculation, and round only the final answer. Professional decisions may require current official rules, field measurements, laboratory methods, or specialist review.
