By comparing Savarez's listed tensions, with other carbon strings of the same diameter, and also those of the calculator, I'm going to guess that Savarez's listed tension is more wrong than right. |
It looks like that online calculator is for steel strings, not nylon or carbon. D'Addario has a nice string tension guide here:

The key factor is the unit weight, which is a property of the material. The unit weight of steel is much higher than nylon or carbon fiber.
