Factors affecting your result

Use the same currency, scale and reporting period. No live economic data.

Changing consumption changes the scenario being evaluated. Adjust one input at a time when comparing results, keep a copy of the assumptions, and compare values using the same unit and period. A precise arithmetic result does not make an uncertain assumption precise.
