Is there a way to figure out what theoretically your 5RM and 3RM would be from your 1RM? Or if you were doing a 5x5/5x3 pattern, what % of your 1RM would you use?
except it works the other way around...you enter weight and 'x' reps on the left to calculate your theoretical one rep max. You'll need to do a little trial and error to figure out your multi-rep maxes in reverse.
I used it somewhat recently for some front squatting...was actually pretty close.

It's certainly more common to want to do the calculation the other way round because of a concern that 1RM testing is too taxing/long winded/risky etc.
I read how to calculate my 1RM deadlift based off my 10RM the other day. It made me a much stronger deadlifter than I really am.
