How do i work out a percentage wage rise?

[kaw69]

Hi I was on £6.50 per hour but as a result of good performance I am going to be on £7.50 how do I calculate the rise as a percentage?
TIA

Rise is £1.
£1 as a percentage of original wage £6.50 = 100/6.50= 15.4% (to one decimal place)

Yep, new figure over old figure times 100/1. Can remember that from 1960.

you haven't had a pay rise since 1960 mike?!?!? ;o)

I meant when I learned percentages at school!

I guessed that mike hence the wink - a shallow attempt at humour at this time of the morning!

The lack of a pay rise since 1960 being merely coincidental.

Hey ! Come to think of it .........

New Amount - Original amount = Change

Change ∕ Original amount x 100% = Percentage Change

Hmmmm: one gets far fewer characters to the line than I imagined.
