GR Mathematical help request

I am looking for a solution of the following problem in General
Relativity:

A 'practical' formula to calculate the radial curvature rc at a
distance d from a mass M.

rc = f ( M , d )

By 'practical', I mean a formula ready for its implementation in a
software program.

By radial curvature, I mean the amount of deformation of the
coordinate system.

Without a mass, the coordinate system would be rectilinear. Then you
put a mass M, which creates a radial displacement of the coordinate
lines. My question is about the amplitude of this displacement.

So rc is a scalar expressed in meters.

Do you mean the Ricci scalar? That is the only direct scalar quantity
of curvature that I'm aware of.
