Why the perpendicular components of the field on axis is not considered in the calculation of net magnetic field?

Why the perpendicular components of the field on axis is not considered in the calculation of net magnetic field?

The perpendicular component of the magnetic field due to the upper half of the coil is cancelled due to the field produced by the lower half of the coil as both are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

Hence, the perpendicular components of the field on the axis are not considered in the calculation of net magnetic field.
