All go-around procedures are based on attaining 2.5% gradient (in europe), or higher due obstacles/terrain etc(in which case it should be on your chart).

If you calculate your single-engine climb gradient (approach climb) at your current weight you can see if you will be able to achieve the required go-around gradient for that approach. If you can't achieve it then most airlines give you the option of flying the engine-out takeoff procedure for that runway (for reasons as described above).

Above all, if you're returning to land immediately due to some major time-critical event like an uncontained fire then going around isn't likely to be one of your available options - you can't plan for every eventuality and multiple scenarios.
