Not sure what the math is but John Palmer has a table on his website howtobrew.com.

I would go with the bottling bucket myself.

I think the formula is:
ABV = (OG - FG)*131
so a 1.050 beer that finished at 1.007 would have about 5.6% ABV
(1.050 - 1.007) * 131 = .043 * 131 = 5.633
Promash says it shoulf be 5.66%. Close enough for me.

I always thought that you subtract the FG from the OG and multiply the difference by 131.

Og - Fg * 105 = Abw
Abw * 1.25 = Abv
Abw * 1.25 = Abv

Use a bottling bucket, you'll want to stir in your priming sugar so you get even carbonation in all the bottles.
