Strategy Commitment Calculation error?

[Enterprise0709]

Edit: derp I'm an idiot: Te payout it shows is AFTER the penalty has been subtracted. adding 284.280 to 71.070 and then dividing that by 71.070 gives me indeed 20%

Never mind

Hi there

In my current game of KSP i run the Outsourced R&D strategy at 20% commitment; Which means it takes 20% of the funds earned and converts 12.355 funds to 1 science.

Going to mission control; I currently have an active mission that pays 284.280 funds upon completion; with a 71.070 funds penalty for my strategy.

punching those numbers into my calculator (71070 / 284280) teaches me that's 25% NOT 20% as the strategy implies.

 

Am I missing something here; or is there an error in the way this strategy's commitment is calculated?

Yup your analysis is correct, and nope it's not your fault. It has been confusing many people for years, especially when a 50% strategy is placed when a display of x(-x) is shown.
