Default Formula for figuring out binding?

I have my very first quilt that I ever did about 10 years ago and a friend quilted it for me before I started quilting. The only thing she didn't do was add binding. I'd like to make my binding and put it on so I can use my quilt. How do I determine how much fabric I need? Is there a formula?

I'm thinking I would measure my quilt on all 4 sides and add that together and then times that number by the inches I want my binding to get how much fabric I need? How close am I?
