If I do it in a non-continous warp and work properly with selvage tablets I use something like +30% of the desired length and this really works in all cases. If you use a continuos warp you can use the +20% formula, even if in my experience a +15% is enough (mostly depending on the twisting of the salvage tablets). Nevertheless there are so many factors that influence the length you could get that all these formulas are only of course rough approximations that I use to get a desired "minimum" length.
