Accuracy & Limitations

Toolisky calculators are built with a commitment to best-effort accuracy. Every calculation tool on our platform is based on publicly available tax rules, government notifications, and regulatory guidelines. Here's how we approach accuracy:

• ✓Data sources: References include the Income Tax Act, Union Budget documents, tax authority notifications, and State Electricity Regulatory Commission (SERC) tariff orders.
• ✓Transparent calculation logic: Each tool's methodology is documented. You can see exactly how results are calculated and what assumptions are used.
• ✓Periodic review and updates: Tools are reviewed continuously. Tax rates, tariffs, and rules are updated as official notifications are published or fiscal year changes occur.
• ✓Testing across scenarios: Calculations are tested with multiple input combinations to identify inconsistencies or calculation errors.
• ✓Clear disclaimers and limitations: We explicitly document where estimates are used, which situations require professional advice, and where local variations apply. See our Disclaimer page for complete terms.

All Toolisky calculators use a documented, transparent approach to ensure clarity and verifiability. Here's how calculations work:

• 1.Rule application: Tax rules from the Income Tax Act, amendments, and government notifications are implemented as stated in official publications.
• 2.Clear assumptions: Where multiple interpretations exist, we document our chosen approach. For example, if calculating electricity bills, we specify whether surcharges are included.
• 3.User input validation: Tools check that inputs are within reasonable ranges and warn when unusual values are entered.
• 4.Step-by-step output: Most calculators show intermediate calculation steps so you can verify the logic yourself.
• 5.Estimate labeling: Results are clearly labeled as "estimate" or "calculation" to manage expectations about accuracy.

You are welcome to review calculation logic by contacting us with specific questions about any tool's methodology.

Even with best-effort accuracy, your Toolisky calculation results may differ from actual bills or professional calculations. Here's why:

Your actual bill or tax liability is determined by many factors beyond what a simple calculator can account for:

Calculations are estimates only. Real-world variations of 5-15% are normal and expected due to the factors listed above. Our tools are designed to give you a ballpark figure, not a final determination.

Use our calculators to:

• →Get an estimate and rough understanding
• →Identify which income sources are taxable
• →Plan and budget for potential bills
• →Verify calculations against professional advice

Do NOT use as: A replacement for professional consultation, audit defense, or final tax/bill determination.

We're committed to keeping Toolisky up-to-date with official rules and rates:

• ✓Annual updates: Tax slabs and rates are updated within weeks of the annual Union Budget or fiscal year changes.
• ✓Tariff updates: Electricity tariffs are updated as State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERCs) publish new tariff orders.
• ✓Bug fixes: If inaccuracies are discovered, they are corrected immediately upon verification.
• ✓User feedback: We welcome corrections and suggestions. Use our contact form to report discrepancies.

Always verify with a professional if your situation involves:

• •Multiple income sources or complex income composition
• •Self-employed or business income
• •Capital gains from investments or property sales
• •Foreign income or investments
• •Special exemptions or relief provisions
• •Disagreement with calculator results

We believe in transparent methodology and honest limitations. This page exists because accuracy matters, and you deserve to know exactly how our tools work and where they have boundaries. We would rather tell you "this is an estimate with these limitations" than pretend to offer guaranteed results.
