Very useful, thank you.

My guess is this is due to rounding down damage and void chances. According to the formula on the wiki:

mass dmg vanish
305 0.83% 0.27%
306 1.00% 0.32%
312 1.99% 0.64%
318 2.98% 0.95%
319 3.14% 1.01%

So if it rounds down both numbers it would agree with your observation. A lot of plausible designs clock in at just over 300kt, so it's very good to know that 305, 312 and 318 are good breakpoints to look for.
