Find the text you can read comfortably
Each line of text is an example of newsprint magnified at the given magnification.
Read the lines of text at a distance of 10" (inches) or 25cm from your eyes whilst wearing any reading spectacles you may have.
The line of text you can comfortably read is a guide to the magnification you need for a magnifier.
