How much storage overhead vmfs

Hi Everyone

If I have a SCSI disk of 100GB and I create a vmfs5 on it, then how do I fnd out the space vmfs5 or esxi or both will take .

Right now, a 100GB disk shows up as 96.75GB(available space) on esxi5. Is there a formula behind it. say 6% or 7%?

Thank you for the help.
