precalculated
Worked out beforehand
Precalculated describes something computed or figured out in advance, before it's needed: The software uses precalculated values to speed up rendering.
Tax tables, trajectory charts, and lookup databases all contain precalculated figures—work done ahead of time so users don't have to perform calculations themselves.
