qt = (Ct − Ct−1) ÷ (1 − Ct−1). This conditions the next-year default probability on survival to the start of the year.

Methodology and assumptions
Every displayed result is traceable from the selected TTC source through migration, PIT conditioning, and ECL.
Φ[(Φ⁻¹(qTTC) − √ρZ) ÷ √(1−ρ)]. Scenario PIT values are blended using editable probability weights.
Each scenario’s Z factor applies for three years, then decays linearly to zero over two years. Thereafter PIT equals TTC.
A one-year Markov transition matrix propagates rating-state probabilities. Default is absorbing; the cumulative default-state probability becomes the TTC curve.
PD over the remaining maturity is conditional on survival through seasoning: (Cend − Cstart) ÷ (1 − Cstart).
Discounted ECL = PD × LGD × EAD ÷ (1 + effective interest rate)maturity. This calculator uses a single lifetime exposure approximation.
