I wouldn't figure
the 5% in the equation, you can always trim the extra off.

You can do it hard way, or the easy way. If you know approximate shortening
factor, it will save you monkeying with the wire cutters and you could get
right on the first try, which is more important when you building multielement
wire antennas like quads.

If you like exercise with pliers, then by all means, take the spool of wire and
start cutting :-)
