Formula and interpretation

contribution % = part ÷ total × 100.

The total must be the full reference amount and cannot be zero.

Worked check

If one category contributes 30 out of a total 120, its contribution is 30 ÷ 120 × 100 = 25%. Confirm that the denominator is the complete reference total and is not zero before interpreting the result as a share.

Rule: contribution % = part ÷ total × 100. The total must be the full reference amount and cannot be zero. For a final check, estimate the expected size of the answer before copying it, keep units consistent, and round only the displayed result rather than intermediate values. Re-enter one simple case by hand when possible; a result with the wrong sign or order of magnitude usually points to an input or reference-base mistake.
