Defense/Armor Calculator

Recently, I have noticed (and I have had them too) questions about how defense impacts armor. As of right now, since a clear formula isn't out there, the only way to figure it out is by actually trying to equip mods, but this doesn't help if all you want to do is theorize on your character if you don't have the mods. I recently brute forced an equation to help create the relationship between the defense stat on mods and the armor % your character will have. I have posted the calculator in a couple of places for testing, and now I would like the help of the SWGOH Forum community too. So far through testing, the armor % is accurate within 0.10% armor, although most tests have been within 0.03%. I am still working on adjusting the formula, but I think this is a good start to the testing. Please use the calculator, test it out on your characters, and please let me know if you get any large deviations between the actual armor and the estimated armor. Hopefully this will be a tool to help everyone on figuring out how to use defense mods/stats on their characters and which characters will have the greater benefit. There is also a video that goes through how to use the calculator. For right now, the formulas used are only for level 80 characters. I hope to work on non-level 80 characters moving forward.

Please let me know what you think and how your results of testing went.
