Formula and source

adjusted_ampacity = base_ampacity * ambient_factor * fill_factor. Ambient factor per 310.15(B)(1) (30 C table basis), fill factor per 310.15(C)(1) (more than three current-carrying conductors).

NEC 2023 (NFPA 70). 310.15(B)(1) (ambient correction) and 310.15(C)(1) (conductor-fill adjustment).
