**Table 1:** Error budget of distance moduli based on the Main Sequence Fitting Method before and after this paper.
Effect/involved error	$\Delta(m-M)$	$\Delta(m-M)$
	Before	After
Local sample properties
Parallax error	$\pm 0.01$	$\pm 0.01$
Malmquist bias	negligible	negligible
Lutz-Kelker correction	$\pm 0.02$	$\pm 0.02$
Binary contamination
Field binaries	$\pm 0.02$	$\pm 0.02$
Cluster binaries	$\pm 0.02$	$\pm 0.02$
Systematic differences
Phot. calibrations (0.01 mag)	$\pm 0.04$	$\pm 0.04$
Reddening scale (0.015 mag)	$\pm 0.07$	$\pm 0.035$
Metallicity scale (0.1 dex)	$\pm 0.08$	(*)
Total Uncertainty	$\pm 0.12$	$\pm 0.07$

(*) The effect of an error in the metallicity were included into the error bar due to reddening (see text).
