I'm not a calcer and probably never will be, but from what I remember, calcers tend to use whatever can be determined from a given feat, e.g.:
Mentioned time or speed (Rasenshuriken and Pein's 1 second cooldown)
Freefall time of objects (iirc, giant objects like meteors can be calced while ignoring air resistance but smaller objects like humans need to be factored in, for example, Madara's meteor feat)
Explosion speed (nitroglycerine shockwave goes at 30x speed of sound according to wiki for example)
Speed of natural phenomena or objects/events with standard speed (lightning, arrows and bullets for example; like that of Toudou Touka's Raikiri, MCU Loki catching an arrow, Kirito swatting bullets from an assault rifle)
Normal human reaction time or normal human attacking speed (Theresia van Astrea killing a small group of monsters before one of them hits her husbando's head)
And even time taken to talk while the feat in question is happening, but iirc, this isn't reliable because they tend to time themselves speaking the line in english when it should be in japanese (japanese tend to have longer wordings for the same meaning, but they also tend to speak faster).... and speaking in action sequences tend to not follow time (like that time when Emiya Shirou was swinging his sword at Gilgamesh and Gil was still able to say something like "...right now, you are stronger", which, unless Gil can speak at hypersonic+ speeds, would be impossible).
