About League Position Projection Calculator

The projection extends the current points-per-game rate across the whole season, and the maximum adds three points for every remaining fixture. Linear projection is the standard first estimate, and comparing it with the maximum still achievable shows whether a target is arithmetically alive.

Formulas

Projected points

projected = points so far / matches played x matches in the season

Assumptions and limits

The result is derived only from the 3 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
Figures are rounded for display to 3 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.
