If I add 4.4 gallons of salt water that’s at 1.030 and my tank is 13.5 gallons total.

How much should the remaining 9.1 gallons be salinity wise in order to get a result of 1.025 salinity in my tank.
 
I never have good luck with calculators, if this were me I'd probably remove 1 gallon of salt water and replace it with RODI, give it a little time and test again.

Do over the next day after you get the result.
 
The remaining 9.1 gallons should have a salinity (specific gravity) of approximately 1.023 to achieve a final tank salinity of 1.025.
