Yeah, thinking about it in terms of how much total you get, rather than how much additional you get, you can always pick some minimum and maximum and make a linear function to fit. (Though you want minimum<maximum, obviously...) Then you can subtract off x to get the entitlement part. Of course at the maximum the entitlement is always 0.
