I added the same recipe to these two soap calcs and came out with 2 different water requirements. Or did I? I don't see a mistake.
Anyone know why the difference? Did I make a mistake?

One thing I see right away:
They are each using 2 different approaches to Water Calculation.
Both are set for 35% BUT
on the left it's 35% Lye Concentration
on the right it's 35% Liquid as a Percent of Oils

Try setting the calculator on the right to 35% LYE CONCENTRATION and see if they come out just about the same.
