No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need

It goes back to cable manufaturars, mostly provide no relevant data! to sales and the users. None will answer this!
Whay do you think that you own now the optimal cable to your setup?
I think I've figured it out.

You say: "Tell me what brand and model your amp. and speakers are, what is the distance between them - and I'll calculate for you what cable is required".

OK, give us an example.  Pick a popular integrated amp, a popular set of speakers, and a typical distance, and calculate away.

I do believe the word in question is calculate. As I read the comments by the OP and see the obvious errors in spelling/typing, I’m not sure if I could trust the calculations.

What data do you seek?

What a coincidence. I just came across this site that was recommended by another site:http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-cable.htm

Maybe this can help the OP is determining what he needs.

All the best,

Ok.
Sorry for the speling. English is my 3rd laguage. This site does not allow to copy from word (speler). So you need to be pasined. Thanks.
To exampls:
A PASS LAB 250W power amp, with B&W802 diamond - 3m long:
4 AWG.
An EMOTIVA 250W power amp, with Vienna acoustics beethiven - 2.5m
0 AWG.
The point is that no other is up to the task. The link:  http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-cable.htm deals with interconnect. Not with speakers cables. Ther the parasatic capacitance of the line has a tall on the highs. Balnced lines solve the issue.
