Do you mean for brewing or bottling?

brewing I only bottle with corn sugar

Corn sugar will lighten the body, dry the beer, and in excess can give cidery notes. DME will give a bit of malty sweetness

No need to use corn sugar, regular table sugar works fine and is 1/4 the cost. You just have to adjust how much you use. The calculator linked works fine.
