How much should I save this year?
Type of calculation: Calculating the value after a percentage increase.
Calculator usage:
Step 1: Calculate the savings increase amount. Use the Basic Percentage CALCULATOR ("What is X% of Y?"). Enter the percentage increase as X (20) and last year's savings as Y ($10000). The calculator will calculate 20% of $10000.
Step 2: Add the increase amount calculated in Step 1 to last year's savings.
Explanation using a formula:
We are looking for this year's savings amount after a 20% increase from $10000.
Amount of increase = 20% of $10000
Amount of increase = (20 / 100) × $10000 = 0.2 × $10000 = $2000
Savings this year = Savings last year + Amount of increase
Savings this year = $10000 + $2000 = $12000
