file growth settings basics

$

I am pretty new to MSSQL (not a DBA), and trying to understand the basics of filegrowth settings. None of the databases have a max size set, so presumably they will keep growing as long as their is free disk space. But then I noticed there is file growth column in sys.database_files that can be set to a percent. How can you tell when that growth is going to trigger? Say for example a 10GB database with a 10% file growth, something is going to then grow to 11GB? But how can you predict when the growth kicks in when there is nothing to say 10% file growth will kick in when the DB reaches XYZ size?
