You don't.
Dry-hopping does not contribute any bitterness (only aroma), since the hops aren't boiled. Boiling is necessary to isomerize the alpha acids.

Most people do not figure in the bitterness of dry hop additions into the total IBU's. What they do add is massive amounts of aroma!

Very complex formula:
(60 min hop IBU^2 + 50 min hops IBUs^3 + 40 min hop IBUs^4 + 30 min hop IBUs^5 + 20 min hop IBUs^6 + 10 min hop IBUs^7 + 5 min hop IBUs^8 + your height (in smoots)) x 0.
(60 min hop IBU^2 + 50 min hops IBUs^3 + 40 min hop IBUs^4 + 30 min hop IBUs^5 + 20 min hop IBUs^6 + 10 min hop IBUs^7 + 5 min hop IBUs^8 + your height (in smoots)) x 0.

I know this is an old thread, but...
Why does hopville.com add ibu's to the recipe for dry hopping? I just noticed that and thought it was very weird and counter-intuitive to the various articles that I've been reading.
