Incorrectly inserted Assumed Temp: Extra R'wy??

Last week we came close to taking off with an incorrectly inserted assumed temp, ie Calculated assumed temp was 50, inserted was 58.
Anyone have a rule of thumb to work out the extra runway that we would have used with the reduced thrust? (Short of calling up the Performance people.)
Not really a big deal on long strips,(long as it's not toooo much of an error) I suppose, but I would imagine it might cause an increase in interest on 2000m-ish runways, if one chose to use an assumed.
This was for a 73-800
