Something is seriously wrong here. I'd rate the odds that you entered identical data and got different answers from the same calculator program as well over 1,000,000:1.

OTOH - if you entered different data, than a different outcome is par for the course. Sounds more like simple data entry error, not anything "forgiving" about the numbers.
