Here's a great resource to figure that out depending on the shape of your pond:

I always plan a little extra, just in case. Then I don't trim until a day after filling. I have found many uses for the trimmed leftovers.

I wouldn't buy the liner till you dig the hole.Crap happens! Then do as above.

More great advice. Sometimes your dig does not always go as planned.

One last thought....If you go a little large and fold in or hide the extra around the edges for a while, you'll have a second chance at adjusting later. It's amazing what you'll think of after a few months of fiddling and wish you had a second chance. I find "ponding" very fluid and changeable...

I've done just that with a small pond, wanted it a bit deeper on one edge, so just uncovered my hidden liner and did it!
