This can be expressed as T (sheet thickness) + A (bend angle) + R (inside bend radius). For a 90° bend angle, the setback value is equal to the bend radius plus the sheet thickness.

Bend allowance = [(0.017453 × Inside bend radius) + (0.0078 × Material thickness)] × Complementary Bend angle. You can insert the value of the inside bend radius as determined by the 20 percent rule. For the bend angle, you use the complementary angle (see Figure 1).

The K factor is defined as the ratio between the material thickness (T) and the neutral fibre axis (t), i.e. the part of the material that bends without being compressed nor elongated. Bend allowance is a fundamental parameter to calculate sheet elongation.

The formula (See Bending Formulas) is: Bend Allowance = Angle * (PI / 180) * (Radius + K-factor * Thickness). Plugging in our numbers, we have: Bend Allowance = 90 * (PI / 180) * (0.125 + 0.42 * 0.036) = 0.2200999813105009. If you don't have a calculator handy, try the Bend Calculator.

Bend allowance is defined as the material required to add to the overall length of the sheet metal in order for it to get cut in the right size. Density in metals can be measured in GPa, or gigapascal. The more gigapascal in a material, the stiffer it is.
