What is the % increase?

Question

I am now on a salary: SEK 19 500/month. I will ask for a raise to SEK 22 000. But how do I find out what the % increase is? How do I calculate it?

Answer 1

first, (22000-19500)=2500

then, to find out the  increase in % just divide 2500 by your initial income and then multiply it by 100

i.e,

(2500*100)/19500

=12.82

Answer 2

It will be (22000 - 19500) / 19500, so the increase in your case is 12.8%

Answer 3

Increase = 22000 - 19500 = 2500

% increase = 2500 x 100 / 19500 =12.8
