I have seen several charts that don't agree.
This one worked for my TJ... I am within 1% now.

Hi Eric,

I have a 35 tooth gear with 4.10 and half-worn 33" BFG MT. When my
speedometer reads 100 km/h, my GPS tells me I'm actually going 99.1 km/h.

If you're certain that you are showing exactly 10% fast with a 33 tooth
gear, then the 36 tooth appears to be what you want. If your error is
closer to 8%, you should try the 35 tooth.

When using charts or calculators (some of which are downright wrong),
remember that new BFG MT 33s are actually 32.8" and that diameter will
decrease with wear.
