I am experimenting with diluted urine as a fertilizer. Is there any way to calculate amounts needed for growth? Without over feeding/under feeding. Any ideas?

Maybe you'll find the information you are looking for by reading through some old threads from this and other forums.

Experiment.

Pick a couple volunteer plants and keep adding more and more until they can't take it any more.
Plants can typically take and like much more than you'd expect. You probably cannot add too much if it is diluted.
Took me 2 cups of undiluted poured right at the stem of a 1' tall tomato plant to kill it. when I poured the same amount 1 foot away the plant enjoyed it.

If you do an experiment, make sure you have a matching 'control' plant that doesn't get any, so you can see the difference.

Based on my limited exprience I would estimate a suburban yard can absorb effluent from a couple of people easily.

Wow
I had done a search of GW but did not find nearly as many results.
I will stage my own experiment!

Plants always do worse if my dogs pee on them.
