The equation is so simple you can just write up a simple program in 
Q-Basic to do the calculations.

The equation is:

C = 0.224 * (KA/d) * n-1

Where C is in pF

K is the dielectric constant of the material you are using

A is the area of one plate in square inches

d is the thickness of the dielectric material in inches

n is the total number of plates in the capacitor
