Calculating areal distortion outside UTM zone?

One of my colleagues is working with data that is spread across two UTM zone. The majority of the data is in one zone, with a few outliers in another zone. He would like to know what the area distortion of those outliers would be if they were in the main UTM zone.

Is there a formula to calculate the areal distortion knowing how far into the other UTM zone the features were?
