Why the examples in these articles can be trusted
Every figure in the articles above is calculated from the same rates and rules the calculators on this site use, and there is an automated test that fails if any published figure stops matching what the tools return.
The reason is simple: an article that states one figure while the calculator on the same site states another is worse than no article. It tells the reader that one of them is not being looked after — and they cannot tell which.
The first step costs nothing.
