Find svg viewbox that trim whitespace around

You can simply set your svg’s viewBox to its Bounding Box.

function setViewbox(svg) {
  var bB = svg.getBBox();
  svg.setAttribute('viewBox', bB.x + ',' + bB.y + ',' + bB.width + ',' + bB.height);
  }

document.querySelector('button').addEventListener('click', function() {
  setViewbox(document.querySelector('svg'));
  });
svg {  border: 1px solid }
<svg version="1.1" id="svg" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px" viewBox="0 0 500 300" enable-background="new 0 0 500 300" xml:space="preserve" width="250" height="150">
