How to make children dont overflow with height 100%

I just discovered that

width: auto

width: auto

and

width: 100%

width: 100%

are not the same thing, so I made this script to test it, but now im wondering, how can I make the height

100%

100%

but without overflowing and considering the margins? Do I have to use

calc()

calc()

?
How do I make the children dont overflow the parent? Because I cant use

height: auto

height: auto

since it just becomes 0

<div class="container">
  <div class="child"></div>
</div>

<div class="container">
  <div class="child"></div>
</div>

.container {
  width: 500px;
  padding: 10px;
  height: 300px;
  background: red;
}

.child {
  background: blue;
height: 100%;
  width: auto;
  margin: 20px;
  border: 10px solid green;
}

.container {
  width: 500px;
  padding: 10px;
  height: 300px;
  background: red;
}

.child {
  background: blue;
height: 100%;
  width: auto;
  margin: 20px;
  border: 10px solid green;
}
