If I need to call a 3 bet raise to set mine does that mean I must earn at least 7.5 x 3 = 22.5 when I do hit to make this a break even hand?
You need to make as much or more when you flop a set and win the hand as all the losses you incur by calling preflop and not flopping a set plus flopping a set and losing the hand. No one can tell you how much these add up to because it depends on how you play and how the rest of the table plays.
One general rule of thumb, you prefer passive preflop play and aggressive postflop play from the rest of the table when set mining.
