| Salpeter | 0.09 | 2.35 | – | 2.35 | – | 2.35 | 120 |
| Haywood-Robin | 0.09 | 1.6 | 1.0 | 3.0 | – | 3.0 | 120 |
| Kroupa-Haywood | 0.09 | 1.3 | 0.5 | 1.8 | 1.53 | 3.2 | 120 |
Notes. The M1, M2, M3, and M4 are the limiting masses (when necessary) and the α1, α2 and α3 are the corresponding slopes. The values of the M1 and M4 are fixed according to the limiting masses of the evolutionary tracks.
