The phrase "a basis for calculating" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the foundational elements or criteria used to perform calculations in various contexts, such as finance, science, or statistics.
Example: "The average temperature over the past decade serves as a basis for calculating climate change trends."
Alternatives: "a foundation for computation" or "a framework for assessment".
Another is to use unemployment still high in Spain rather than relative wealth as a basis for calculating eligibility.

Further, it is suggested that global environmental change scenarios are used in LCIA in order to assess future pressures and potential damages to biodiversity and ecosystem service supplies as a basis for calculating the contribution of a product life cycle to the overall environmental damage.
The agreement of the semi-analytical models provides a basis for calculating yield stress vs. strain rate and temperature, resulting from statistical pinning, for the case of non-interacting dislocations on a single slip system, and for extending the analysis to study dynamic strain aging effects resulting from diffusion of Mg atoms around a pinned dislocation.
