If you have an Apple iPhone. There is a called "My First Antenna". It calculates leg length and total length of the Dipole antenna. Works for 10m SSB, 20m PSK, 20m SSB, 40m PSK, 40m SSB, 80m PSK, 80m SSB. Another program called "HamAntCal v3.1" also calculates wire lengths. On VHF 30 to 300 Mhz. and UHF 300 to 500Mhz. Another program "Antenna Tool" go antenna type drop down menu. Punch in your antenna type and it automatically calculates length.
