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 $
200 [A] and
15% [B]. 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 A% of B?”). Enter
15 [A] and $
200 [B]. It will calculate
15% of $
200.
Step 2: Add that gain to the original price.
The formula:
We want the new stock price after a
15% increase from $
200.
Amount of increase =
15% of $
200
Amount of increase = (
15 / 100) × $
200 = 0.15 × $
200 = $
30
New stock price = Original stock price + Amount of increase
= $
200 + $
30 = $
230
