    They are only as accurate as the information you put into them. I've used them for myself and the figure it came up with is exactly what i receive.

    Always best to use at least two to check that you get the same answer (which you should although there are sometimes some small rounding differences).
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.
