Want to know what percentage of your income is deducted? Here’s one way to do the math.
Carol’s gross income is $600. She pays $150 in deductions.
- Divide deductions by gross income. (You may want to use a calculator here.) $150/$600 = 0.25
- Convert 0.25 to a percent by moving the decimal point two places to the right and adding the percent sign. So 0.25 becomes 25%.
25% of her income is deducted.
