Calculator usage:
Step 1: Calculate the tax increase amount. Use the Basic Percentage CALCULATOR ("What is X% of Y?"). Enter the percentage increase as X (5) and the previous tax amount as Y ($300). The calculator will calculate 5% of $300.

We are looking for the new tax amount after a 5% increase from $300.
Amount of increase = 5% of $300

New tax amount = Previous tax amount + Amount of increase
New tax amount = $300 + $15 = $315
