Calculating what the sea level rise will be if certain amount of ice melts is quite complicated because of gravitational attraction due to the large mass of the ice, changes in ocean circulation due to the temperature and saltfree content of ice meltwaters, change in the earths axis of rotation due to ice melt, change in ocean currents, etc.

When part of the Greenland ice sheet melts the global mean sea level rises, but it is likely to cause sea level drops in some places around the northern Atlantic. How and where is going to be almost impossible to model and we will just have to wait and see how it plays out. Journal articles here [1,2]
