Employing Eggleton’s stellar evolution code, we carry out 150 runs of non-conservative Population I binary evolution calculations with the initial primary mass between 1 and 8 M⊙, the initial mass ratio q = M1/M2 between 1.1 and 4 and the onset of Roche lobe overflow (RLOF) at the early, middle or late Hertzsprung gap. We assume that 50 per cent of the mass lost from the primary during the RLOF is accreted on to the secondary, the other 50 per cent is lost from the system, carrying away the same specific angular momentum as the centre of mass of the primary. We find that the remnant mass depends on when the RLOF begins in the Hertzsprung-gap and the dependency increases with the primary mass. The remnant mass, however, does not depend much on the initial mass ratio, as compared to conservative cases. For qi = 1.1, we fit a formula for the remnant mass as a function of the initial mass M1i of the primary and the radius of the primary at the onset of RLOF with an error less than 2.61 per cent.
