Type of calculation: Calculating a value after a percentage increase.
How to use the calculator: Option 1 (Direct method): Use the
Value Increase Calculator (“Original increased by Increase% is what?”). Enter $
800 [A] and
5% [B]. It will show you the new premium directly.
Option 2 (Step-by-step method): Step 1: Calculate the dollar amount of the increase. Use the
Basic Percentage Calculator (“What is A% of B?”). Enter
5 [A] and $
800 [B]. It will calculate
5% of $
800.
Step 2: Add that increase to last year's premium.
The formula:
We are calculating a
5% bump on a $
800 premium.
Increase amount =
5% of $
800
Increase amount = (
5 / 100) × $
800 = 0.05 × $
800 = $
40
New premium = Last year's premium + Increase amount
New premium = $
800 + $
40 = $
840
