You need the flight manual, it's in there. Then you can calculate fuel and distance to climb, fuel enroute, fuel for descent, missed/alternate fuel, contingency fuel, etc. If you are really interested in the subject, maybe take a Dispatcher course, that's where they get heavy into the subject of flight planning for transport category aircraft. I did this and it was a great experience.

The actual fuel burn is affected greatly by the type of engines, weight, weather, etc.
