I think I have usually figured on 15%. I normally buy 15-20% more than I need in hardwood. I like to keep a few boards on hand for projects yet dreamed up. If I lived closer to a good lumber yard that might be different.
I remember one time while I was building a gun cabinet for a friend that I had near 60% waste. I ripped all the pine boards for the glue-up panels and they decided to warp, curl, and twist. Had to re-buy that lumber.
