Contributions here are computed on the ceiling. Where no ceiling applies, set it above the wage figure and it computes on wages.
Rates, ceilings and what counts as wages are statutory, change, and depend on your establishment — so they are inputs rather than built-in assumptions. Confirm every one with the EPFO or your advisers. This does the arithmetic on the figures you supply; it does not tell you whether they are the right figures, and it models no employer split between schemes.
Calculates employee and employer contributions from the rates and ceiling you enter.
Every figure it produces is arithmetic on what you enter, and the working is shown line by line rather than summarised into a single number.
Replace the defaults with your own figures. They are examples chosen to make the shape obvious, not benchmarks — using them unchanged tells you about a company that is not yours.
The lines beneath the headline are the useful part: they show which input is driving the result, which is what makes the answer arguable in a good way.

Where two readings of the same question exist, both are shown rather than one being chosen for you. That is deliberate — the difference between them is usually the thing worth discussing.
If a figure looks wrong, change the input you least believe and watch what moves. That is faster than checking the arithmetic.
No. The tool runs in the page, nothing is sent anywhere, and there is no follow-up.
No. They are examples chosen to make the shape clear. Use your own figures.
It is stated in the working shown beneath the result, so you can check it rather than trust it.
Half an hour on your own figures, and an honest answer about the parts Treepie does not improve.
