Its better with a bit more slack, than with to tight a chain, that could damage you're bearings.
Hope that helps, when you've done it a few times, then you can see when its time, without meassuring and other stuff.

I would broadly concur with this, other than I was taught to have 1 inch (25mm) with the bike fully loaded and level. Takes more into consideration. Again, too loose is better than too tight.
