there's no way to do that based on any basic calculator or user count because the server load is highly dependent upon how the application is setup. If you've got an application that's highly cached, you can serve hundreds or even thousands of visitors an hour and not break a sweat. The opposite is true too. You can have 5 users an hour on a poorly optimized application and grind everything to a halt.
If you're just doing vanilla WordPress with a good caching plugin, you can go far on very little, but of course that's not how most people deploy WordPress and therein lies our issue with making any kind of resource generalization.
If you're building on WordPress and Symfony, I presume you've at least had some experience with managing hosting. What have you used before and was it enough? What sort of VPSes are you looking into? Most of the VPSes I'm thinking of are basically bonafide small servers, but I've also seen ones that are not much better than an ordinary virtual hosting container.
