The worst part of a job search is that it feels like a series of personal rejections when it is actually a funnel with known conversion rates. Twenty applications producing one interview is not a verdict on you; it is roughly the market rate for cold applications, and knowing that in advance changes how the twentieth one feels.
Free, no sign-up. Worked out in your browser, nothing sent anywhere, and the result imports into EvyOS.
At your rates, one offer takes about 80 applications, 8 first conversations and 4 interview processes. That is arithmetic, not a judgement — and the twentieth rejection means the same thing as the second.
Every conversion is at or above the typical rate, which means the funnel is not broken — it is just long. The lever here is volume and warmth, not fixing a stage.
Referred applications convert several times better at the first stage, which is where your funnel is widest and therefore where leverage is highest. Ten messages to people you already know is usually worth more than fifty more applications.
This result contains something worth keeping.

Twenty applications in is enough to beat the defaults.
Each stage fails for a different reason and needs a different fix. Working on the wrong one is common.
The funnel needs volume. Judging yourself per application is what makes people stop at twelve.
This does the arithmetic. Given the rates you are actually seeing — or sensible defaults if you have not started — it tells you how many applications an offer needs, how long that takes at your weekly pace, and which stage is the actual bottleneck.
The bottleneck is the useful part. A low application-to-screen rate is a CV problem; a low screen-to-interview rate is a positioning problem; a low interview-to-offer rate is a preparation problem. Those need completely different weeks.
This works something out and then forgets it. It cannot tell you whether the number moved, because it has no memory of the last time you ran it and no idea what you did in between. Every calculator on the internet has that limit, and if it has never bothered you then this one is yours for free for good.
EvyOS is the same structure with the work recorded against it. Send the result across and it becomes real goals, tasks or habits with their dates — then the next answer is computed from what actually happened rather than from what you remember typing.
Goals, projects, tasks, habits and skills in one system, with the work logged against what it belonged to.
