I've done some searching and can't find the formula that lines up with brokers fee (Or i'm doing something wrong)

I'm trying to get it to calculate in Excel and using the most up to date formula I can find I'm getting strange numbers.

As per eve wiki:

Quote:
BrokerFee % = (1 – 0.05 × BrokerRelationsSkillLevel) / 2 ^ (0.14 × FactionStanding + 0.06 × CorporationStanding)


Test case:

  • My Broker Relations: 2
  • Faction Standings: -0.73(Effective) -1.18 (Actual)
  • Corp Standings: 0


So the formula should translate in Excel to:

BrokerFee% = (1 - 0.05 * 2) / 2 ^ (0.14 * -1.18 + 0.06 * 0) = 3.02

Problem is my ACTUAL broker's fee in game is 2.835177% (Using actual faction standings throws the number off even further)

What am I missing here?

As mentioned in my post, that actually makes the number even further from correct. Using unmodified standings gives me a 3.02% fee. So while that may be true, it's not the only issue.

Any idea what is the lowest broker fee % possible with the current model?

Thanks,

Thanks, bud.

Is there a formula readily available or is this all we have to work off of at this point?
