How Do I Know What Size Hole To Drill For Tapping?

How do you know what size hole to drill for the thread?

For metric threads, the point can usually be calculated by subtracting the pitch from the diameter of the thread. for example for M5x0. Tap 75 equals 50.75mm = 4.25mm. For inch (inch) threads, the tap size is calculated the same way: diameter minus pitch.
