<div>I make furniture and most of the pieces that I make with doors have inset doors, so I don't have to worry about adding for the overlay.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here is the rule of thumb that I use</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Door Width - 2(stile width) + 2(the depth of your slot). Panels subtract 1/16" - 1/8" From the width for expansion and let them float.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Remember if you are doing overlay doors add twice the amount of the overlay to the length of both you stiles and rails.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This should get you pretty close. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here are a couple of links that I found online,</div>
