Placement depends on what kind of players you faced during your provisionals as your MMR is also influenced by this.

You are placed higher if you constantly win against people of higher MMR and thus raise your own. On the other hand, losing against them will not affect your MMR as much as losing to players of equal or lower MMR.

There's no mathematical calculation to determine where exactly you'll place. You'll just have to make the most of it.
