    Not that simple. I’m afraid.  Is the battery capacity you quote the total capacity or the usable capacity?  It’s the usable capacity that you use and replace, so that’s what you use to calculate.. Also the charging process is only 85 to 90 efficient. There are heat losses in the voltage conversions involved.  There are more expert people than me here who may be along to go into it deeper.
