If you want a ball-park figure, add the diff between opt and max to cruise and that will give you an idea. In your case, enter 410 as cruise to see the step.

1) Do take note of de facto's post
2) Don't forget to put cruise back to 370.
3) Ideally you want to see 372/400 for economy unless 'tactical' considerations dominate.
