I want to generate an interrupt using a timer at the end of 3 msec. How do I calculate the value to be put into the MR0 Register???? I referred the user manual, but I dint find any formula to calculate this.

No formula in the user manual, but quite descriptive text.

Decide what clock speed to use for the PCLK.
Decide what prescaling.
Then it follows directly what compare/match value to use.
