Based on the nuclear attenuation data obtained by the HERMES experiment on nitrogen and krypton nuclei, it is shown that the nuclear attenuation $R_M^{h}$ can be parametrised in a form of a linear polynomial $P_1=a_{11}$ + $\tau a_{12}$, where $\tau$ is the formation time, which depends on the energy of the virtual photon $\nu$ and fraction of that energy $z$ carried by the final hadron. Three widely known parameterizations for $\tau$ were used for the performed fit. The fit parameters $a_{11}$ and $a_{12}$ do not depend on $\nu$ and $z$.
