Can someone work out a percentage for me?!

[F0XWillow]

If I earn £26000 and my new salary will be £34000. What is the percentage increase please?! Or how to work it out

It’s a 30.8% increase

30%?

between 30-31%

34000 minus 26000 is 8000. 8000 divided by 26000 is .307. Multiply this by 100 to get percentage I.e 30.7% rise.

34k minus 26k is an 8k rise

do 8,000 divided by 26,000

multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

It is approx 30%

I assume you don’t need basic maths in your job 😉

It's 30.77% to be exact

Percentages are always worked off the original, ot the new.

So the generic formula would be [(new-original)/original ] x 100%

"I assume you don’t need basic maths in your job 😉"

Just unnecessary and frankly, bitchy. Some people have dyscalcula, would you mock them too??

unnecessary nasty comment the wee winky face doesn't make it ok

Thanks everyone! I don't mind the comment about basic maths 😂

But thanks for sticking up for the thicko 😁

It's a good increase, I hope I get the job!

You can just Google percentages. I dp. A

I did and I did the sun and it said 100.000 which is why I came here instead

Yes to those saying 30.8%

BUT, your takehome will increase less than this (assuming similar pension contributions). Takehome increases around 25%

That's useful thanks

Google a percentage calculator website - that’s how I work everything out! Numbers absolutely baffle me.

https://www.thesalarycalculator.co.uk/salaries.php might be useful.

New salary - old salary divide by old salary, then multiply by 100.

((new-old)/old)x100
((34-26)/26)x100

Works out at 30.769% increase.

Percentage change is always
(Difference ÷ original) x 100

Good luck op!
