Rough opening for a door

If I want to accomodate a standard 30" x 80" door prehung, what kind of
rough framing do I need to do to accomodate it?
I would assume the door is 30", the door jamb will add 3/8" on each side to
make it 30-3/4" assuming a 1/2" of play to level and shim the door, I should
frame it with a rough opening width of 31-1/4". Height wise, the door is
80", assume again a 3/4" jamb depth, plus another 1/2" for play, also assume
a tiled flooring with thinset and tile to be 1/2", we have a total height of
81-3/4". So the rough opening should be 31-1/4" x 81-3/4". Am I correct?
Thanks in advance,

Add 2 inches both ways, if you cant make it fit in that a little less
is ok too as long as its straight.
