Estimate totals differ by a cent from my calculator

Steps

1. Use the displayed rounded selling price per unit when checking a line total. The program does not multiply an unrounded selling price behind the scenes.
2. Direct cost is quantity times unit cost, rounded to cents for each line. Selling line totals use the rounded unit selling price times quantity, also rounded to cents.
3. The program adds those line totals, applies the discount and optional minimum-profit adjustment, then calculates tax and the requested deposit.
4. For mixed taxable lines, the discounted taxable share is rounded to cents before applying the tax percentage.
5. Use a small fictional quote to identify the first step that differs, rather than comparing only the final total.

Check that it worked

Quantity 2.5, unit cost $9.99, overhead 0%, margin 30%, no tax or discount: direct cost $24.98, selling unit $14.28, selling line $35.70.

Still stuck?

A difference larger than the documented rounding steps deserves a product report with the fictional inputs and expected result.
