However Band A has nothing to do with it. It is just 6/9ths and no-one uses it as far as I am aware for recording purposes.

Thank-you for the apology but I doubt it really has anything to do with your calculator. Much more to do with the numbers you put in and how you put them in, because using your 'method' of percentages I also got your incorrect 68% figure using a working calculator.
Band A has a lot to do with it. If average earnings are £17k you can't compare that with band D property which is only 7.5% of Hyndburn. You have to compare it with what's happening in reality, in that most people will be paying band A and B rates not band D.
