New Salary minus Old Salary equals Change. (N-O=C) Change divided by Old Salary times 100 equals Percent Increase. ((C/O)x100=P)
you ask someone
Half the number = total number divided by 2, and their percentage, by definition, is 50.
You cannot. The starting value must be positive for a percentage change to make sense.

You calculate the change in percentage points. Thus, the change from -5% to 7% is a change (increase) of 12 percentage points.Do not try to calculate it as a percentage change. The change from -50 to 50 is 100*100/(-50) works out as -200% while the change from 50 to -50 is 100*(-100)/50 = -200%. One goes up, the other goes down but the % change is the same!

This is an increase of 16.67%
Do not calculate percentage changes when the numbers are negative since they are extremely difficult to interpret. The change from +100 to -100 is -200% The change from -100 to +100 is also -200%. The percentage changes are the same but the underlying change is completely different.
To calculate longevity pay, you typically determine the percentage increase you are eligible for based on your years of service with a particular employer. Commonly, longevity pay is calculated as a set percentage of your base salary for each year of service beyond a certain threshold, such as 5 or 10 years. Multiply your base salary by the applicable percentage for your years of service to calculate your longevity pay amount.

what is the percentage of tds on salary ?
You do not. Percentage change (increase or decrease) makes sense only if both numbers are positive or both are negative. Consider the change from -50 to +50. You could calculate the percentage change as 100*(new-old)/old = -200% Now consider the percentage change from +50 to -50. -200% again! So, in percentage terms a change from +50 to -50 is the same as from -50 to +50.
