This is so, so complicated. It can make a person's head spin. It depends on your age, your stage of life, and your medical history (for instance, whether you still have your uterus and ovaries). Like you, I tried searching for any sort of basic ratio formula but didn't come up with anything dependable.
It's the very reason why it's so difficult to figure out what is perfect for each woman; why there are creams, pills, patches and pellets; why there are clinics and books and doctors and laypeople. We are in a fascinating time right now, with so many options, but it is a frustrating time too if you are someone suffering from symptoms and can't find the information you need.
This is on a doctor's website who deals with hormone imbalances. It is a quiz that helps you zero in on possible areas of imbalance by having you check off symptoms and then refer to certain books for more information:
How old are you, Neversurrendr? Are you in perimenopause or menopause? Have you had your hormone levels tested? Are you working with a doctor to try to achieve this "balance"? Are you on any HRT?
