Struggling to judge how many calories my spin class would burn.
12st 4lb. Age 25. 5ft 7. 60 minute class. Going full pelt.
I know it's going to be difficult to judge so just a ball park.

I can't tell you what you use in a spin class, but I'm a competitive cyclist and I ride with a power meter.
I'm 5' 10", 160lbs. An easy indoor ride is about 500calories per hour. A very hard hour of intervals generally does not exceed 750 to 800 calories per hour.
My number are likely your upper limits of your calories burned. The biggest unknown is how much power you are producing or are you just spinning with very little resistance.
Most of the online calculators I've seen over estimate calories, imho.0
