Based on Ghol's theory that this usage of reckon might be Australian I checked the Macquarie Dictionary but it only lists: reckon on, reckon up, reckon with, reckon without.
The OED2 on the other hand does have an entry for it:
reckon, v.
[...]
2.a. To count, so as to ascertain the number or amount of; to ascertain or arrive at (a number, quantity, etc) by counting or calculating; to compute. Also with out.
[...]
1633 T. Adams Exp. 2 Peter iii 10.1307 A woman reckons out her nine moneths, and can guesse neare to the day of her comming.
Based on the single example given by the OED2, "reckon out" might be older usage and possibly rare or dialectal these days. So the LEO entry would appear to be valid but should possibly be marked [rare]. Using Google I was able to find a few instances of "reckon out" likely to have been written by native speakers of English. Examples:
