Typical spoke and nipple combinations from the same manufacturer have sufficient thread for the spoke to go about 2mm or more above the top of the nipple. Since your spoke calculator probably gave you a length that comes up 1mm shy of the top of the nipple, that gives you a margin of error of 3mm, and you're using 1mm of it. You'll be fine.
