The minimum values are all calculated using a linear function y = kx+m where y is the calculated minimum value, x is the current enchantment power level and k and m varies between different enchantments. The maximum values are all the minimum values plus a constant that varies for each enchantment.
Please note
These are not the levels you need to pay to be able to receive specific enchantments, you must also take into account the modification of levels that occur in step one.
