• 2

  When comparing two options for New Zealand, run both through this inflation with the same rate and the same New Zealand Dollar basis; then the difference you see reflects the options themselves rather than an inconsistency between the two inputs.

• 3

  Treat the computed New Zealand Dollar amount as the base figure for New Zealand: any additional local fees, deductions, or rounding rules that apply to your situation must be added separately, so the number you rely on stays honest and complete.

• A percentage entered as a whole number where a decimal is expected (15 versus 0.15) is off by ×100 — the most common single error in rate fields. Check which form the New Zealand Inflation field expects before you type.

• Compounding and period mismatches dominate: entering a monthly New Zealand Dollar figure where the Inflation Calculator for New Zealand expects an annual one — or skipping the compounding frequency — shifts the result more than rounding. Match every period to its field.
