Frequently asked questions
- Is this medical or tax advice?
- No. Due dates, TDEE, and paycheck outputs are estimates; consult clinicians, IRS guidance, or payroll for official figures.
- Do marketplace fees change?
- Platforms update fee tables; treat results as planning approximations and verify on seller dashboards.
- Should I add waste factor?
- Yes for concrete, tile, and mulch β many pros add 5β10% beyond raw calculator output.
