Following is a response from Senior Data Processing Specialist, Noureddine Abderrahim:

The computation of the WTFR is a little bit more complicated than the TFR, since it excludes children whose birth order is above the ideal number declared by the respondent. The exposure used in the calculation of the WTFR, however, remains the same.

Attached is the logic used to compute the WTFR using the statistical package CSPro distributed by the Bureau of the Census.
