I'm not familiar with the JC, so I apologize if I offend...

For the best jambalaya rice, in my opinion, I use Zatarain's parboiled at a ratio of 3 parts rice to 4 parts liquid. It is fully cooked and is moist, but not mushy.

We have a 30 gallon pot for Football tailgates and I use 15 pounds of rice and eight (8) forty-eight (48) oz boxes of chicken broth. That fills the pot to about the 80-90% level.

Not sure about the calculator, but I use the following minimum ratios for every 1lb of rice:
--2lbs meat
--2 cups of chopped veggies

Hope this helps, and again, hope I didn't overstep.


ETA: Photo of the Jambalaya I cooked on Saturday.

Are you sure that's a 30 gallon pot? 15 pounds of rice and 3 gallons of stock or water assuming normal amounts of meat should not even be half full, especially with par boiled rice which doesn't pop.
