I'm looking for a simple formula to use in figuring this so I can adjust if need be.

For each foot of elevation the pressure will increase .433 psi
Therefore: pressure = 0.433 X height in feet
Is that simple enough?

Its not very complicated, you can get a accurate estimate just by using Pressure = (gravity 9.81 m/s) * (Height) * (density of water 1000 kg/m^3). You will have to convert the height of the tank to meters to make sure your units are consistant. Also you will have to convert the pressure to psi, which you should be able to do just by finding an online unit converter.

About 1/2 psi per foot of height...

you would be looking for head pressure at the house, but havent given enough information to calculate it.. there are many dynamics involved with figuring out head pressure.. including but not limited to: how big is the water main? how many elbows does the run have? is there a pressure tank??

PRESSURE(psi)=SPECIFIC GRAVITY*HEAD/2.31 (HYDRAUSTATIC LAW)
PRESSURE(psi)=1 *65/2.31,We will consider pure water.
pressure(psi)=28.14
