You have a number of choices and these are just a few...

There is a calculator here  http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,16315.0.html

The Mach manual explains setting up steps per unit  http://www.machsupport.com/help-learning/product-manuals/

The Mach3 settings screen has an automatic steps per unit calculator - just follow the on-screen instructions and it's done.  ;)
