Best way to calculate descent point.

If someone could please give me an example, and how it is solved.
I asked a few of my friends (First Officers) and they said all they do is put it in the MCDU

For a certain Ground Speed, maintaining a certain altitude, and ATC asks you to descend and BE at another altitude lower than the one you are at, at a certain waypoint.

How exactly would you calculate your descent point?
Add any number that you like.

Thank you in advance ....
