TLDR The Top of descent (TOD) calculator is based on aviation rules of thumb and trigonometry. The main parameters we should have are origin altitude, destination altitude, and glideslope. The calculator can be found on https://descent.now.com/epranka/descent-app. The source code of the calculator is found at my GitHub repository: GitHub.
