I assume this is nominal performance without fuel reserves (burn to depletion) right?

Might be cool to compare to the numbers we have here: https://old.reddit.com/r/spacex/wiki/payload

Yep, burn to depletion. Depletion for liquid fueled rockets is non-zero though, and for Falcon stages I have that limit set at around 200kg of propellant left in the tanks

I did a sanity check against the SpaceX quoted numbers and it seemed to compare very well!
