Additonally you can take fuel planning from Simbrief.com, I also use the following to plan for my fuel, which always gives me sufficent fuel without being overladen on landing, no matter the length of flight:

(Distance of Flight / 450 kts) = Min fuel + 10% + 90 mins

example: LAX - JFK = 2598 NM (Distance)

2598 nm/450 kts = 5.77 (5hrs 46mins) = 346.2mins (5.77 x 60 to convert to mins)

346.2 +10% ( 34.62) = 380.82 mins

380.82mins + 90 mins = 470.82 mins

470.82 / 60 (to convert to hours) = 7.847 = 7hrs 51 mins

So load 7hrs 51mins of fuel before push back.
