Field notes
The calculator uses default training lengths, one attempt per exam and one-off fees, with General Surgery selected for the surgery comparison. Its source labels distinguish college or government material, secondary sources and figures not yet checked; courses, travel, indemnity and unpublished fees are outside the totals. The tax estimate applies a marginal rate and points readers to employment-related deduction rules. Pages also cover state allowances, extra costs and a JSON data export.
