Front sight question

I have a rifle with a Lyman aperture rear sight and an insert type front sight like a band from NECG. I have the rear sight bottomed out and it shoots 6 inches high at 100yds. How much higher does the front sight need to be to make up 6" (or give me a little more to adjust the rear up some)??? Thanks in advance.

To do your own maths in the field/without computer :

(error in inch x line of sight in yds) / range in yds = correction in inch .

3 shots do not make a group, they show a point of aim or impact.
5 shots are a group.
