We used the SDP-SI calculator for over 8 belt runs and they have all been dead on, we are using GT2 3mm and 5mm pitches. I believe you can also calculate this using pitch lengths and diameters giving by the part's specs.

Could you have had an inches metric conversion error? Or an mis ordered part?
