miscomputed
Got math wrong
Miscomputed is the past tense of miscompute, meaning to calculate incorrectly or make an error in computation.
It applies to mathematical operations, data processing, or any situation requiring accurate figuring.
The accountant miscomputed the quarterly taxes and had to file an amendment.
The error implied is typically one of process rather than concept—the method was attempted but executed incorrectly.
