Tests

From en:Help:Pictures#Thumbnail sizes is this:

By default, thumbnail images on Wikipedia have a width of 220 pixels (px) if the image's wikitext does not have an explicitly defined size. This is the width determined by default that is used by anonymous visitors and users who have not customized their preferences. You can set a different default width for yourself in My preferences under "Appearance » Files"...

Lead images should usually be no wider than 300px. That is equivalent to using upright=1.35 if the default thumbnail width is 220px (220 multiplied by 1.35 then rounded to the nearest multiple of 10 equals 300), but larger defaults in user preferences will result in proportionally larger images (340px if the default is 250px, 410px if the default is 300px, or 540px if the default is 400px).

Border has been added via wikitext to show image boundaries:

[[File:Map of US minimum wage by state.svg|220px|none|border]]

220px:

250px:

300px:

upright=1.35 (requires thumb,
thus the border and caption space):
