It is so basic it is eluding you.

And the fact that you get different values for different brokers is because the brokers are following minimum guidelines, but have the right to impose whatever initial they wish upon their clients. They can go as high as they want, and can go below minimums if they wish (The so-called day-trading margins).
If you did not have me on ignore/block or whatever, you would have known this long ago, as I have posted about this many times. So had Old Man Morse, in fact. Sheesh.
What is the irony that you and I were responding to this post at the same damned time, and I thought of you in my response? Funky.

You multiply the maintenance margin by 1.1 (10%) and you get initial.
Damnit Matt, I was hoping he'd figure the math out on his own! Zzzztttt to you!
Ahhh, he still has me on ignore. So he would not have seen this anyways. :-\
