It depends on the attenuation of the yeast you use.
Each extract will have a specific gravity based on the fermentables. The don't ferment 100%, so you cannot calculate ABV based on x amount of DME/LME.
What % abv are you shooting for?

Oh I don't know. I was just thinking it would be nice to know how much extract I could use when making a brew. I'll probably be doing hef most of the summer. I think the most for that style is around 6%. So I was thinking that it would be cool to know how much malt to order to achieve that result. Is beersmiths calculations generally pretty accurate?
Roughly...a pound of DME will equate to not quite .8% in alcohol.
5# = 3.8%
5# = 3.8%
If you have a copy of BeerSmith, use it. Recipe creation is very simple and accurate.

I'm still using the evaluation copy. But so far I like it alot.
