First of all, I would like to thank @Mandy for writing this.

The various Dead by Daylight Math are now clearer and more enjoyable to play on a daily basis.

One thing I did notice.

What is the number 0.69375? I assume you mean 16 / 0.804 = ≈ 19.9 seconds....

Peanits

You are both correct! This post was written a while ago, but some things had changed since then. It looks like I made a mistake when updating it.

I've gone back and fixed those mistakes, thank you for pointing them out!

Thanks for the quick correction! I found GAME INFO articles like this one very useful.

I hope you will write many more articles like this one in the future.

Thank you @Peanits and @Mandy !

Not sure, though it actually shouldn’t be 0.804 either. The example incorrectly uses -25% for Mangled when in reality it is -20%.

(The in-game description of Mangled says it increases the time to heal by 25%, but this is misleading because this is not the action speed debuff; this is the equivalent of reducing the action speed by 20%).

That is correct. You are right Mangled is -20%.

So, if I rearrange the relevant part and rewrite it correctly, it would look like this?

Example

Say you have Botany Knowledge (+50%) and a First Aid Kit (-33%) with Medical Scissors (+10%), but you're under the effects of the Killer's perk, Sloppy Butcher (-20%). If you were to heal yourself, the math would something like this:

1. The sum of the positive modifiers is: 0.5 + 0.1 = 0.6

2. The product of the negative modifiers is: (1 - 0.33) * (1 - 0.20) = 0.536

3. The final charges per second is therefore: (1 + 0.6) * 0.536 = 0.8576

4. The total time it would take to heal a Survivor is: 16 / 0.8576 = ≈18.7 seconds

Anyone else notice anything else, let's all help @Mandy out.

Yep that looks correct.

Awesome! Thank you for fixing it

Just to clarify, I didn't write this - we do not allow me to do maths, that would not end well.

All the credit for this post goes to @Peanits who is a wizard and took the time to explain this.
