I wouldn’t get super in the weeds about this. I would just go to online calorie calculator, put your body information in and then take the maintenance calories it gives you and subtract by 500. The first week if this is done right you’ll lose a lot of water weight, the second week less and by the third week start seeing noticeable fat loss. I would aim for around 1lb a week. Any less or more and I would subtract of add calories.
