How Do I Figure Out How Big To Roll My Fondant?

I'm just starting out with fondant and I can't figure out how big to roll out the circle when covering an entire cake.
Do you have a rule of thumb?
For a round cake, I measure the sides and top and add 2 inches then roll to that diameter. For example, if the sides of my cake are 5 inches tall and the diameter is 10", I roll the fondant out to about 22 inches wide.
OK, so a 12 inch round cake x 4 inches high would also be 22 inches.
12 inch diameter
+4 inch side
+4 inch side
+2 extra inches
22 inch circle
is that right?
