When to use
Comparing two contracts; reverse-engineering a vague offer email.
When not to
Not a full 50-state take-home tax engine. Housing alone → housing stipend calculator.
Assumptions: Stipends are user-entered weekly amounts; tax-home eligibility is not decided here.

Common traps
- Huge stipends with tiny taxable wages can look great until underwriters only count W-2.
- Tax-free stipend treatment depends on tax home facts — we don't certify it.
- Agency package marketing sometimes buries cancellations.
