How the calculator plans a board
The calculation starts with owned portion ranges in ounces per serving unit. An adult counts as one unit and a child counts as 0.6. Events lasting three to four hours use a 1.1 duration multiplier; longer events use 1.2. Your selected buffer applies after those steps.
