  Currency is part of the math: this New Zealand take-home pay computes in New Zealand Dollar, so convert a foreign source figure first — applying a local rate to a foreign amount silently inflates or deflates the result.

• 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 Take-Home Pay field expects before you type.

• This page computes in New Zealand Dollar, New Zealand's currency: pasting a figure from a neighboring country's calculator mixes currencies silently. Re-run the number on the matching country page so the New Zealand Dollar basis holds.
