When you want to see how many miles you receive, I use a tool called awardnexus.com -> trip calculator. Much faster to use than the TK calculator and also works for partner airline accrual.

You just type SIN-IST =x1.75 (or x1.6 for cheap business or x1.5 for partners or less on UA/LH) and can easily piece together a calculation for a whole trip with many segments on different airlines - I was on a trip with LH, UA, NZ, SQ and TK. The tool is only 10 - 50 miles off for each segment (for SIN-IST-CGN it had 30 too much and then 23 too few so in the end it was only 7 miles off for the 11.594 total TK credited.
