How do I know what magnification I'm using

Hi everyone,

I'm getting myself a barlow for planet watching.

I have a Skywatcher SW102 f/5
Here's the scope in question : http://www.ozscopes.com.au/skywatcher-102mm-510mm-az3-refractor-telescope.html

The lenses that came with the scope are Plossl 10mm and 25mm.

I figured I'd get the 3x magnification barlow available from Andrews.

How do I work out what magnification this will give me?

I assume it'll be well within the limits of the scope?
Sorry, i'm feeling extra lazy today so I can't be bothered looking for the answer myself. Can someone please just throw the answer my way.
