Is there a quantitative method to follow to determine FILLFACTOR for NONCLUSTERED INDEXes?

Question
I've read different ideas to set FILLFACTOR
and then monitor fragmentation over time (#1: 5 Things About Fillfactor, #2: Database Maintenance Best Practices Part II – Setting FILLFACTOR).
Instead of making an 'educated' guess upfront and then adjusting, I was wondering:
- If anyone knew of a (quantitative) way to determine what level of fillfactor would be needed upfront?
(I'm primarly concerned with respect to NONCLUSTERED INDEXes
, as I typically create my clustered indexes on ever-increasing integers.)
