A very easy, and maybe inaccurate, " rule of thumb" that I have read some time ago, valid for a tipical airliner, is a 4% of fuel burned increased, per flight hour, when the weight is increased 1.000 Kg.
If payload or block fuel is increased 1.000 Kg for a 3 hours flight, trip fuel will be 120 Kg higher.
