You need an equation to calculate anything. What equation are you thinking of, and what alternatives might there be?

I was thinking of the Zeff equation, Slaters rule and maybe alternatives like approximating it using the wavefunction. What are the differences between those methods

Why you want to calculate it?
Generally we are just predicting from periodic trends or using simple Zeffective equation
It depends where are you using Zeffective
For simple questions I don't thing we need to calculate it.
