Scenarios where Bricks calculadora pays off

When it isn't the right tool

Every tool has an edge where it stops being the right answer. Bricks calculadora is no exception:

For legally binding tax or medical decisions — cross-check with HMRC, NHS or a qualified professional.
For very large or very small extremes the rounding error outgrows the useful precision.
When the underlying rate or threshold has changed since the page was last reviewed — always verify with the primary source.
When the input you have is already a derived figure (net of something) — feeding it in as "gross" will double-subtract.

Five things that trip everyone up

Every time you size it up for a new scenario, one of these creeps in — it's worth knowing them ahead of time.

Mixing up units — grams in one field, ounces in another, then wondering why the answer is off.
Treating a percentage as a whole number. 20% means 0.20 in the maths, not 20.
Rounding at every step. Keep four decimals internally and only round the final number.
Using last year's thresholds. If the page isn't dated, assume it's stale and check GOV.UK.
Reading a tool like this as advice. It is maths, not a decision — the decision is still yours.

The sources behind the numbers

Where the maths needs an external authority, we cross-check against:

BDA
Anicer
