According to Mr Boeing, these will be the achieved landing distances under various conditions, a table is provided to work it out.

The table has a basic landing distance from the runway end and then a series of additions/subtractions depending on aircraft weight, altitude, head/tail wind, temperature, runway slope, speed increments above Vref and 2 or 0 reverse.

Reverse Thrust reduces the Brake Energy but makes lots of noise and vibration doing it.
