The command refs and config guides have some good pointers for this.
Below is an example:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/qos/command/reference/qos_q1.html#wp1054922


*Policing Traffic with CAR *

*CAR embodies a rate-limiting feature for policing traffic. When policing
traffic with CAR, Cisco recommends the following values for the normal and
extended burst parameters: *

*normal burst (in bytes) = configured rate (in bits per second) * (1
byte)/(8 bits) * 1.5 seconds *

*17.000.000 * (1 byte)/(8 bits) * 1.5 seconds = 3.187.500 bytes *

*extended burst = 2 * normal burst *

*2 * 3.187.500 = 6.375.000 bytes *
