Every car will be different. It depends on the drivetrain losses, wheel diameter, wheel weight, tyre pressure, tyre grip/drag, etc. So the only way to accurately know is for the dyno to measure it on wind down. Then when you have that figure you add it to wheel hp. If you use a percentage of wheel HP then it is only a guess (unless it was measured as a percent on run down).
