One thing the bias chart did for me was to allow me to find out what
size of binding I could make from the size of fabric I have available
to me. came out to about 1.5 inches, cut to 3.75 inches wide. Cool.

If you have a calculator, you don't need a chart. Multiply the width
of your fabric by the length, then divide by the width of your tape to
get the maximum length of tape that can be cut from that piece of
fabric.

Reality will be a tad less because of seams, and there is likely to be
a fractional-width piece of tape left over.
