Capacity Planning

Dear All
My company has asked me to come up with the amount of
space a new database will use based upon X number of
records in tables.
Is there some sort of recognised matrix I can follow, or
will I have to wing it based upon my own interpretation of
the tables and relationships ?
Thanks
