As a rule of thumb, relativistic effects are very small below 5-10% of the speed of light. You may still need to calculate them if you want very high precision,

As a rule of thumb, relativistic effects are very small below 5-10% of the speed of light. You may still need to calculate them if you want very high precision, like for GPS.
