Or is there even an easy way???

Lets see if I can help you out a bit. Assume you have an insturment in Eb along side a melody in C, now the interval between Eb and C is a major sixth. So to take the Eb insturment to concert pitch you would want to take the pitch of the Eb insturment down a major sixth to get the note it sounds (it sounds a C when playing an Eb). In revese if you have all concert pitches and need to transpose it to an Eb instument you would want to transpose up a major sixth.
When the instrument plays a c it sounds it's name. Eb alto sax plays a C sounds an Eb -- so the sounding pitch is a major sixth below the written. In order for the eb sax to sound the correct pitch it's part must be written up a M6.
