I just bottled an English IPA. I forgot to get a FG reading before I added the priming sugar. How much would 5.25oz of dextrose add to the gravity?

5gal batch. FG with priming sugar was 1.016

Or is it not even enough to make a difference?
 
I tend to add 45 grams for 9 liters.

I really don't think the amount of cugar has much to say with regard to the ABV, But if you put in too much it turns into bottle bombs and thats a waste of beer! :)
