Guides

How each figure is worked out, and what you need to work out yours.

One guide per calculator: the mechanism, the tables it computes with, the office that publishes each rate, and what to have to hand before you start.

A note on what is written

Every calculator has a guide, and all 5 are written. Each one is built from the same records the calculator computes with, so a rate that moves moves the guide in the same commit — the tables here cannot quietly go stale.
