Subject: [DC] Calculating current carrying capacity through a via

I'm looking for a reliable method to determine how much current a single via can carry. I know that it will be a function of the via diameter, copper thickness, dielectric thickness, etc.

 

 What I'm looking for is a calculator,  reference table, or rule of thumb that would make the calculation a little easier. Any help is appreciated.
