    AAA,
    Is this an academic question? Or are you planning
    On a new or upgraded service?

    The electrical code article 220 describes the load requirements
    For just about everything you'll need. There is also an "annex" near the
    Back of the book that provides many useful examples.

    This should not be done by a DIY'er.
