Pressures in reloading manual are not calculated they are measured using specialist equipment, and they are really only relevant in the barrel/chamber they were fired in.
There are programs that can estimate pressure's, but they are just that an estimation and should not be relied on. they don't take into account what primer you use, your paticular batch of powder, free bore in your chamber, condition and exact is and number of grooving in your barrel, etc.
This is the reason that quite a lot of reloading manuals loads are considered conservative.
There are ways to judge pressure that the experienced hand-loader can use but these take time to learn and can be unique to each rifle.
