Forget about perdiem and taxes; perdiem will vary month to month and taxes vary person to person.
On reserve, you may be able to pick up 2 days of flying or reserve (3 if you're really trying) and as a lineholder with multiple consecutive days off, you can easily pick up a 4 day.
Situations and conditions will vary month to month, but use the chart I whipped up for estimation.
