The DMA manual TM8358.2 has a formula

The convergence can be calculated from grid coordinates or from geographic 
coordinates.

For wide TM applications one could consult the Finnish JHS 154 publication.
See page 20 of the pdf.

Hello,

Does anyone know the formula to calculate the deviation angle between
