You can write this down in a general form. Looking at the simplest situation first, a minimum of $100M so PTSC is maxed out at $10M, and the Expenses are static at $5M, we can write:

y = (x - 15)*0.425 + 10

where y is what PTSC gets, and x is the Original amount. The Percentage to PTSC is something that people have been discussing, and we can graph that out easily as y*100/x


y-axis is %, and x-axis is in Millions

The Limit as x -> Infinity is easy to calculate, it's 42.5%. At the minimum, $100M Original, you get 46.125%.

This simple model assumes a minimum of $100M and a fixed $5M for Expenses. I could write down a function for an Original amount less than $100M (need a mix of Step Functions, etc.), and a guess for a variable value for Expenses, but...why? lol.
