Default boiler output: how many btu's do I need?

Hello,

When fitting a boiler, how do I work out what output the boiler should
have? I can add up the rating of the radiators to give the power needed
for the central heating but what do I add for the hot water? Also do I
add a fraction to compensate for losses?

Thanks.
Stephen.
