After you determine how much space remains when overhead is accounted for, determine how much space is required for the data dictionary and spool.

Reserve approximately 80 MB for growth of system tables and the WAL log. However, optimum space for the WAL log must be based on the number of rows dropped or updated by concurrently running transactions during your peak workload.
