Time to step climb?

Hi guys/ girls

I have a question which I can't find the answer to.

Lets say your flying along (b737) at 370 and on the CRZ page you see 372/392 and you would like to climb to 390 but, you want to climb when the max = 395

What's the best way to calculate the time till you can climb to this level

Example 100kg fuel burn = 100ft in altitude

I personally would be happy to climb to 390 if the conditions are smooth and there wasn't a penalty for it but some newer captains from the older 73's are bit hesitant about it.
