calculable

Can be determined

Calculable describes something that can be computed, measured, or estimated with reasonable accuracy.

A calculable risk is one whose probability can be assessed; calculable damages in law are those that can be quantified in monetary terms.

The word often implies predictability: The outcome was calculable from the start.

When something is calculable, it falls within the bounds of reason or expectation, as opposed to the incalculable, which defies measurement or prediction.
