Key Engineering Decisions

§1Exact integer cents vs. floating-point math

JavaScript floats introduce infamous IEEE-754 precision errors (e.g. 0.1 + 0.2 != 0.3). All intermediate currency math is calculated in scaled integer cents, guaranteeing 100% penny-perfect accuracy across compound brackets.

§2Edge execution over server round-trips

Rather than burdening a central database server with thousands of recalculations per second, statutory tax trees are compiled into pure functional modules that execute directly in the browser and on edge nodes.

§3Statutory citation audit trail

Every single state calculation output links explicitly to the state Department of Revenue statutory bulletin and effective tax year, providing legal defensibility.
