Why these calculators are different
Every rate comes from GOV.UK, HMRC or the law itself, and we show which one and when we last checked it. Every result has a "Show the workings" button that lists each step of the sum, so you can check it yourself.
Where GOV.UK has its own calculator, we test ours against it. Our redundancy and holiday answers match GOV.UK's in every case we have checked.
