Salt calculation?

Was wondering if anyone has a "salt calculation" forumula or tool that they could share (like something in MS Excel would be fantastic!)
Specifically, what I'm wanting is something that, for example, I need to raise my salinity from X to Y and my total gallonage is Z, I can plug those values in and it calculates how much salt (in cups) would need to be added.
And conversely, if I want to lower my salinity and know those same parameters, what percentage/amount of saltwater would need to be removed and relaced with the same volume of freshwater to get to the targeted salinity level.
Right now I'm just adding a little, measuring, adding a little, measuring...until i get there. Having the right measurements at the get-go would be so very handy.
Maybe I'm the only one that missed that day of class?

Thanks!

however, when raising or lowering your salinity, you want to do it slowly so that you dont shock your tank inhabitants.
