Sections 7.2 and 7.3 of "High-Speed Digital Design" by Howard Johnson provide
rough approximations for these, along with explanations of their limits.
Recommended reading.

C (in pF) = (1.41*Er*T*D1)/(D2 - D1) where
D2 = diameter of clearance hole in ground plane(s) (in.)
D1 = diameter of pad surrounding via
T = thickness
Er = dielectric constant

L (in nH) = 5.08*h*(ln(4*h/d)+1) where
h = length of via (in.)
d = diameter of via

Assuming 10 mils ground plane clearance, and FR4 Er of 4.5, these give

13 mil via, 0.51 pF, 1.05 nH
17 mil via - 0.69 pF, 0.95 nH
