Mass to LKO

[Kerbalsaurus]

Anyone have a good mass to LKO calculator or mod? The forum thread I found to calculate it is pretty time consuming, especially for making blueprints.

Im not sure if anyone does this, but if I were to personally make a blueprint I would just put an ore container and push the ∆v to the max (around 3700m/s)

Then you can just take the ore container and see its mass.

If you still have some leftover fuel after entering orbit, put a little more weight in it, until you barely make it.

Now, its not having to be the exact mass written in the blueprint. Example: The rocket can lift 17.893 tons to LKO with 5m/s left. You can just type in "Mass to LKO ≈ 18 tons".
