There aren't any guidelines around this.

You'll basically have to re-produce the calculations.  For instance, if
gross is "p" and taxes are 20%, then "p", "(p*0.2)" and "p-(p*0.2)"
should work as the formulae.  I guess it'd be nice if there was a
"remainder()" function to basically re-produce the auto-balance
functionality... so the formulae could be "p", "(p*0.2)" and
"remainder()".


But I'm not quite sure what your problem is ... a bit more detail,
perhaps?
