Half squat to parallel squat ratio?

I usually squat to parallel, but for football our max outs are to a height about equivalent of a half squat. I was wondering if anyone knows how much more I should be able to do a half squat with. I got parallel with 405lbs, and one thing i read said that I should get 130% of that for a half squat which would mean I could squat 526.5lbs. That seems excessive so I was wondering if anyone knew if that would be true, or had another ratio/percentage

    Depends on your leg length, if you have longer legs- 140%.

    Shorter- 125-135%
