It works out very close to 1.305 million per ratings point, but there's rounding that makes it hard to go from 18-49 rating and wind up with exactly what Nielsen will report for viewers though it's close enough that I could've done so and not been far off the mark. trying to quantify quality in a way that correlates with ratings is nuts.

Also: "I won’t be able to calculate it exactly for any show above... until Tuesday when I have total 18-49 viewers, rather than just the rating...." There are about 131 million people aged 18-49 in the country. So doesn't each 18-49 rating point equal about 1.31 million viewers in that demo? Maybe I'm remembering wrongly. Only in terms of ratings, not quality.

Also:
