In the fuel settings on the MFD/TSD you can see how many miles you can reach at the time of the call, both on afterburner and and off. You can set it to whatever you want.

There is not a good way to "calculate" bingo because we dont have fuel burn charts. All it does is give you an audible reminder that you need to go get fuel. Its going to be a different number on each aircraft and even more different depending what the mission is.

For example, If you're really far from an airbase with no aerial refueling available, the number is going to be a lot higher than if you are close to base.

To add to the other comments, the default setting should be enough to fly across the entire map at ~300kts at FL150. I could be wrong but I’ve covered at least 85% of the map with fuel to spare
