Hi Tom,

I read the IPC-7351 document and I did not see solder joint goal table for flat leads [SODFL and SOTFL] components. 

But in library calculator Toe joint value found as 0.20 mm. 

From where did they find this value. Is this 0.20 mm is fine for Toe end.

Per IPC J-STD-001 Standard, the Toe value is determined by the Terminal Lead Thickness. 

This is the example of the Gull Wing Terminal Lead form.

It's the same concept. You take the "Nominal c" dimension (and round up to the nearest 0.05) and that is your Toe goal. 

Anything bigger than that is a waste of PCB real-estate and excess solder. 

The main strength in the solder joint is under the terminal lead.
