usually when someone asks me for a time estimation I would ask them for some time so that I can analyse. Say feature "x" will take 6 hours to complete, so I will return 6 * 1.5 = 9 hours as the estimation.

Often it takes less time then the estimated ones, but it's better to be safe than sorry 😁

I often found that * 1.5 is not enough.
