Your calculations are correct. I prefer to go with a range of 500-600 to allow room for daily variations. So say between 3245 to 3345 a day should be good.
Remember to adjust that upward as you... -

Weighted pullups or chinups are definitely the ultimate goal. They are a bit more taxing energy-wise so just watch that part when doing them in conjunction with deads.
