RE: The formula:

Sorry it is not that simple ...
You need to take into account the impedance
of the tube section that is in parallel
with the cathode resistor.

From the linked website -

It can be shown that the resistance seen looking into the cathode (Rk unbypassed) is:

Rk' = (Rp+ra)/(mu+1)

Therefore, the total cathode resistance, or the output impedance if you take the signal off the cathode, is the parallel combination of the cathode resistance, Rk', and the cathode resistor, Rk, as below:
R = Rk' || Rk
