Each figure here is rounded by itself — a row's Month cell is a twelfth of that row's year, and the other columns split the same year the same way. Rounded parts do not always add back to a rounded total, so subtracting a column can land beside the take-home at the foot of it. Week comes to £2,163.22 against the £2,163.21 printed. Both figures in each line are exact; the take-home row is the one this page works from.
