Does anyone have a good method for calculating the heat generated by a VFD?

I would agree with marcoh, 3% is typical. All manufacturers will stipulate this somewhere in their documentations.
Additionally, if you are fitting AC line reactors to the input of the drive or other options that are handling the drive/motor current, then these too will generate heat.
If it is to be used to calculate an enclosure size, there are formula to do this.
