where

 is the weight of asset i at time t,

 is the QoQ total returns of asset i at time t,

n is the number of constituents in that TICCS® category

TICCS contributions to YoY total return

where

 is the QoQ total returns of the index at time t

Contributions expressed as percentages

The same can be done with YoY contribution.
