Help with salinity!

Hi all, ok so finally got my new tank and all are moved in!

I lowered my salinity in the old tank gradually to 1.010 to eliminate any nasties before the move to make sure illness didn't cause any un needed stress, and then matched the water levels in the new tank to the old. But now I need to raise them again....

I don't have a drop filter or top off so I'm going to have to improvise there, I'm thinking I can mix a gallon of tank water and raise it to a super salty mix and drip it in through a valve, my question is if my salinity is 1.010 and it's a 60g tank, what mix do I need and how quickly should I add it? I understand slower is better but I'm struggling with the maths here!

If there is a calculator out there I've not found it yet

More info all water perimeters are perfect bar the sg, it's a FOWLR tank

Thanks for the help
