How much time will it take to brute force encryptiona password

I am building a client side-side app that will encrypt data, using password based-based key generation, into the database. Can someone verify my calculations to figure out what is the right number of iterations I should use to dissuade a potential hacker.?

  1. We'll assume that the password is at least eight characters long with a mix of numbers and upper, lower, and special characters. So that makes 72$72$ possibilities per character

  2. Thus total passwords to brute force = 72^8 = 722$= 72^8 \approx 722$ trillion

  3. If I want it to take 100 years to try all possibilities using 10 computers, then per second my settings should be able to produce 22,900 passwords

  4. Now what I am unable to figure out is, how many iterations would it take to limit a GPU such as 8x Nvidia GTX 1080 to be able to generate 22,900 passwords?

We can assume HmacSHA1HMAC-SHA-1 or HmacSHA256HMAC-SHA-256.
