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 $
1000 [A] and
10% [B]. It will show you the new payment amount.
Option 2 (Step-by-step method): Step 1: Find the dollar amount of the increase. Use the
Basic Percentage Calculator (“What is A% of B?”). Enter
10 [A] and $
1000 [B]. It will calculate
10% of $
1000.
Step 2: Add that increase to the previous payment amount.
The formula:
We want the new payment after a
10% increase from $
1000.
Amount of increase = (
10 / 100) × $
1000 =
0.1 × $
1000 = $
100
New payment = $
1000 + $
100 = $
1100
