Assumptions and limits

The result is derived only from the 4 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 2 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why round up?

Teams are indivisible, and under-resourcing extends the campaign beyond the planned window.

What raises team throughput?

Fixed-post sessions in dense areas, advance mobilisation and pre-registration all raise daily doses per team.
