Finding the size of tides

I have a planetary system in which there is a huge planet and a moon orbiting it which has an atmosphere and water (and actually everything needed to sustain life).

Thing is that I'm sure the mass of the planet such moon is orbiting will have incredible effects on its tides. But I can't seem to find out how much the height of sea/ocean might change due to the Tide Effects.

So, how can I find out how many meters/kilometers will tide make oceans rise?

In case formulas are dependant on too many factors, let's assume the moon is like Earth, so the height is only dependant (I guess) on the mass and distance of the planet it's orbiting.
