The aim of this work is to provide an upper bound on the eigenvalues counting function $N(\mathbb{R}^n,-\Delta+V,e)$ of a Sch\"odinger operator $-\Delta +V$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ corresponding to a potential $V\in L^{\frac{n}{2}+\varepsilon}(\mathbb{R}^n,dx)$, in terms of the sum of the eigenvalues counting function of the Dirichlet integral $\mathcal{D}$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions on the subpotential domain $\{V< e\}$, endowed with weighted Lebesgue measure $(V-e)_-\cdot dx$ and the eigenvalues counting function of the absorption-to-reflection operator on the equipotential surface $\{V=e\}$.
