I've been following the changes to reprocessing (refining) and I think I've got a pretty grasp how it works and the new formulas that are now in use. However, I can't seem to find anywhere on how the station tax is calculated. I know the formula for the percentage rate:

5 - (0.75 * highest corp/faction standings)

And that gives you your tax rate of 0-5 percent all dependent on the standings.

Now were I'm lost is using the new Reprocessing window. At the top it tells you want your reprocessing percentage. By hovering over that, it gives you a break down of how that percentage was derived. So for a 0 standings corp, I have a tax rate of 5%. But in the new window it says 0.95.

Does anyone know where that 0.95 comes from? Is there a formula for converting the tax rate percentage to this new decimal number? Or has the standings formula been changed completely. I've checked all over and I can't find a single thing about how this is calculated. All I find is that 6.67 is perfect standings but nothing about any conver

Unless theres some tax changes

5% tax = you get 0.05*less = 0.95

So 0% tax is 100% yield = multiplier 1
5% tax is 100%-5% = 95% = 0.95
10% tax is 100%-10% = 90% = 0.9

etc etc

I am pretty sure that means you have a .95 or 95% return. a similar thread said that a 1.0 return and dev responded that meant he wasn't taxed so i am guessing but it follows.

I get all that ...... but how is it derived, what formula is actually used to convert the corp tax rate, which is 0%-5% to the decimal equivalent that is shown in the reprocessing window?

@Termy ..... where do you come up with 10% tax when its only 0%-5%?

Tax Multiplier = 1 - MAXIMUM( 0 , 5 - NPC Corp Standing * 0.75) / 100

Outposts & conquerable stations are completely different.

Thanks!!! Exactly what I was looking for. I couldn't find that anywhere for the life of me. Appreciate it :)

I just threw out the 10 for simplicity, since the actual calcuation hasnt changed at all, just uses decimals instead percentages.

You even wrote the formula in your own post at start, well almost, unless you really needed spreadsheet type formula for something like Tau posted.
