Calculation method
Calculation method
Whole entrants required at each stage
Work backward from final hires; ceil(required downstream/p), exactly using the supplied decimal percentage at every stage.
Initial applicants in supplied-rate scenario
First stage’s backward-rounded entrant requirement.
Target final hires
Supplied target; rates are scenario assumptions.
Initial entrants less final target
Initial entrants−target, not an observed rejection count.
Symbols and units
- a
- Target final hires
- b
- Sequential stages: name, supplied pass rate %
Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- An exact integer backward-planning scenario at supplied stage pass rates, not a guaranteed hiring yield or a calibrated probabilistic forecast. Zero target permits zero-rate stages; a positive target does not.
