Solar & Battery Storage Sizing

Solar & Battery Storage Sizing Formula & Math Derivation

\text{Required Wh} = \frac{\sum (\text{Watts} \times \text{Hours})}{0.85 \times \text{Depth of Discharge}}

Calculates total battery storage capacity in Watt-hours by summing daily watt-hour loads and adjusting for inverter efficiency loss (15%) and usable battery chemistry depth.

Welding Wire & Consumable Consumption

Welding Wire & Consumable Consumption Formula & Math Derivation

\text{MIG Wire (lbs)} = \frac{0.5 \times \text{Leg}_1 \times \text{Leg}_2 \times \text{Length} \times 0.283}{0.85}

Calculates total deposited weld metal weight (lbs) for fillet welds using carbon steel density (0.283 lbs/inΒ³) adjusted for MIG solid wire deposition efficiency (85%).

Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR)

Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) Formula & Math Derivation

\text{DSCR} = \frac{\text{Net Operating Income (NOI)}}{\text{Total Debt Service (Annual Principal + Interest)}}

Determines whether cash-flowing real estate produces sufficient net income to cover annual mortgage obligations. Institutional lenders require DSCR β‰₯ 1.20x to 1.25x.

Scientific Calorie Deficit & TDEE

Scientific Calorie Deficit & TDEE Formula & Math Derivation

\text{TDEE} = \left(10W + 6.25H - 5A + S\right) \times \text{Activity Multiplier}

The Mifflin-St Jeor equation calculates Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) from weight (kg), height (cm), and age (years), multiplied by physical activity index to determine total daily calorie burn.

FIRE Safe Withdrawal Rate (SWR)

FIRE Safe Withdrawal Rate (SWR) Formula & Math Derivation

\text{Required Portfolio} = \frac{\text{Annual Retirement Expenses}}{\text{Safe Withdrawal Rate (e.g. 0.035 - 0.040)}}

Determines the total capital required to sustain lifetime retirement withdrawals adjusted for inflation, sequence of returns risk, and portfolio longevity.

Short-Term Rental Seasonal ADR Yield

Short-Term Rental Seasonal ADR Yield Formula & Math Derivation

\text{RevPAR} = \text{Average Daily Rate (ADR)} \times \text{Occupancy Rate (\%)}

Measures revenue per available rental night across 12-month peak, shoulder, and low seasons to model break-even operating margins and annual cash-on-cash yield.
