Typically in county jails you will receive five days gain time earned for every thirty days that you have served.  So right now with your 75 day sentence you have 34 days of credit plus five days gain time, for a total of 39 days. Remember though you can lose gain time by misbehaving in the jail.  The jail is not required to give you gain time and it can be taken away.  If you get placed in a workpod you then can earn more time off your sentence depending on the jail policy.
