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

Many thanks factor thought it was around 15% but needed the caculation
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
