There are various factors which one should consider to estimate this number.
1. The competition for the keyword. 2. Links pointing to the websites in Top 5 for Search Results for keyword. 3. Estimated Traffic numbers for keyword. 4. Quality of links you are planning to achieve.
I will now explain all this using an example.

1.)
If you make a Search on Google for this keyword, you will get the total number of results as 5,530,000.
2.)
