Endurance ( time ) x G/S Home
TAS x 2

Endurance 'should' include some buffer for you to hold at destination.

G/S OUT + G/S HOME = TAS x 2

eg. :

Total fuel endurance overhead or abeam to yr return airport = 3 hrs 25 mins.

If TAS = 300 Kts and W/C = + 35 Kts (ie 35 Kts tailwind component)

Then I would calculate PNR as ( with 1 hour hold buffer at return airport ) :

2hrs 25 mins x 265 =
300 x 2



2.42 x 265 =
600


1.07 Hrs. = 1 Hrs 5 Mins from your check-point.

Hope it helps.
