Can you calculate it - yes; but it would be so difficult that you don't want to. (it would involve turn radius of the truck, distance from wheels to hitch, distance from hitch to axles, etc.)
Better to just go to a open parking lot and chalk mark it on the pavement and measure the diameter you need.
Add to that how acute an angle you can get with the truck and trailer and keep the front cap from hitting the back of the truck (variables: front cap design, position of pin box to front cap, position of hitch in truck bed, itch-to-cab distance, etc.). Every truck/trailer/hitch combo is different.
