There isn't one. You need to tell us exactly which frame, and exactly which crank you intend to use with it in order to get the correct answer.

There are pretty much 4 common standards for shell width and a wide array of spindle width options.

This explains why there are different spindle lengths and how to measure/determine your chainline. And if you are off by a couple of millimeters, don't sweat it. The Chainline Police will not come get you. That's just a myth.

you can quickly reset all aspects of a frame (i.e., position, rotation, etc.) if you haven’t created the key yet.
