Sorry, I wish I could help you out, but there's nothing simple about that question. To get an exact answer would require a lot of proprietary information that I don't believe you'll find floating around the web anywhere.

As far as rough estimates go, I seem to remember that trim drag is usually on the order of 3% of induced drag, which would mean that the tail load is roughly equal to 3% of the GW.
