1) Recompute with a second tool or hand math on a simplified case. 2) Bound: double the input — does output roughly scale as expected? 3) Authority: compare to United Kingdom guidance (HMRC — PAYE/NI simplified annual model.). This site uses model uk-paye-ni and currency GBP for education, not as a legal determination.
