I've been working on my planned ex-CPT *ONE6 for next year
I priced it up in the tool (BA is the first carrier so I can do that)
Then I got the taxes, fees and charges breakdown from ITA Matrix

And what I found was:
  • taxes and fees matched exactly except for three taxes which Matrix had and the Tool didn't - they are the US International Arrival and Departure taxes and the Russian International Terminal Use tax
  • the BIG difference was in airline charges; the Matrix gave a total of ZAR5664 while the Tool had ZAR11008, so a difference of ZAR5344 (about USD380)

Go figure
