At our outfit, we always plan with an alternate for the destination airport...exception, island reserve, where no alternate is possible.
Thus, the minimum fuel required at the planning stage is...

Fuel to destination
5% contingency
Fuel to most distant alternate
30 minutes holding at the alternate
Any extra required by regulation/notam, for destination.
