Type of calculation: Calculating a value after a percentage increase.
How to use the calculator: Option 1 (Direct method): Use the
Increased Value CALCULATOR ("Calculate new value after percentage increase"). Enter $
100 [Original] and
15% [Increase]. It will show you the new price directly.
Option 2 (Step-by-step method): Step 1: Find the dollar amount of the gain. Use the
Basic Percentage CALCULATOR ("What is X% of Y?"). Enter
15 [X] and $
100 [Y]. It will calculate
15% of
100.
Step 2: Add that gain to the original price.
The formula:
We want the new stock price after a
15% increase from
100.
Amount of increase =
15% of
100
Amount of increase = (
15 / 100) × $
100 =
0.15 × $
100 = $
15
New stock price = Original stock price + Amount of increase = $
100 + $
15 = $
115
