Where can I find a site to calculate chem.?

I know it's hard to calculate how much we add into our system, I don't even know myself. I have a small 12 gallon and it's hard to know how much I should add, I don't even know how much to add. May some examples calculations would help out some knowledge. I remember coming across this site that has all the additives listed and ready to calculate like seachem.com, but I don't used Seachem so I don't know.

Does anyone know where i can find sites to calculate how much calcium, alkalinity, and etc...?

Once I get to the desired level I don't have to do too many, if any, calculations. Baking soda for alk, dow flake for ca, and lime to maintain levels.
