Calculating percentages can be useful for various purposes such as analyzing survey results, tracking progress, or generating reports.

In the variable type, select Formula, and write the formula to calculate the percentage.

Here is another example:

In the insurance estimation form, calculating the deductible percentage is essential for determining the portion of the coverage amount that the insured individual is responsible for covering before the insurance provider begins to pay out benefits.

Let's delve deeper into the formula provided:

Formula: (Deductible Amount / Total Coverage Amount) * 100

By dividing the Deductible Amount by the Total Coverage Amount and multiplying the result by 100, we obtain the deductible percentage.

This percentage indicates the proportion of the total coverage amount that the insured must bear as the deductible.

🗄️ Old dashboard:

Here you can see the variable field and formula in the old dashboard editor:

For instance, suppose the Deductible Amount is $500 and the Total Coverage Amount is $10,000. Applying the formula:

Deductible Percentage = ($500 / $10,000) * 100 = (0.05) * 100 = 5%

In this scenario, the deductible percentage is 5%, meaning the insured individual is responsible for covering 5% of the total coverage amount as the deductible.
