Default Sample Calculations for Timber Beam

Hi all

Does anyone have any sample calculations or links for timber beams please?
This will be built into wall at each end - supported on internal leaf.
It will take the weight of ceiling and joists only, with whatever imposed
load is applicable for a loft space.
I am particularly interested in the timber grade selection. Not sure what
variety of wood is generally used and therefore allowable stresses etc

Thanks in anticipation

Phil
