Determining the grind width from stock thickness

Hi guy's,

I would really appreciate some help with a calculation: I like to calculate how wide the grindline/bevel should be to establish a 22.5 degree angle on a puukko. Stock thickness is 0.125 inch (3.2 mm). The blade is 0.787 inches (20mm) wide. I ended up a tad to small on the belt grinder I am not used to . I will just finish this knife as practice. No problem.

This calculation is something I am not very good at I have seen a lot threads, but I just don't fully understand most of them. Often they are about calculating an edge on knifes that already have an established bevel...

thanks in advance!
