Properly, all of it. Prophecy is NOT telling the future, but telling God's message.
propheteuo: "to prophesy, to speak an inspired message, sometimes encouraging obedience to God, sometimes proclaiming the future as a warning to preparedness and continued obedience"

There are 13 books of the Bible writen to the church the body of Christ by the Apostle Paul
There are no prophets of God today, even as there are no apostles. God has already revealed everything He wants men to know, and has placed this revelation in the Book we call the Bible. Today there may be interpreters of God’s Word and God’s written prophecy, but no one today should, in specific meaning of the word, take the position of being a prophet.
The experts say, “This is that,” when events happen and then they compare the event to a prophecy in the scripture. These experts are always wrong and will continue to be wrong as long as they try to fit Israel’s prophecy into the Church Age. There is one basic truth in regards to prophecy. Prophecy concerning the return of our Lord has to do with His return in Glory and not with His coming at the rapture. No prophecy needs to be fulfilled in order for the rapture to take place. The rapture, the translation of the Church, which is the Body of Christ (I Thes 4:17-18), is not dependent on prophecy. It may happen any time, any moment. Perhaps today our Lord will call for His Church.
It is after the rapture that prophecy relating to His return in glory will begin to be fulfilled. Today we are living in a period of time called the Mystery Program, which was kept secret since the world began (Romans 16:25-26). The following is a list of mysteries that have been made known to us today and have nothing to do with prophecies that pertain to Israel.

Well, many of the things that are written are generally naturally occurring disasters that might happen any time.Wars/rumors and various debasing habits and consequences such as disease and prison etc. The ten commandments might be used as a rule of thumb but to tell the truth isn't always a wise thing to do. Better not to speak than to speak a lie. Many things can be interpreted as prophetic logic I would say.

The bible is made up of approximately 30% prophecy, meaning written before it was fulfilled. About half has been fulfilled (100% correct I might add) and about half is yet to be fulfilled in the rapture, tribulation period, second coming of Christ and the Millenium.

A rough guess would be 15-25%
There are events that are "foreshadowing" prophecies, such as Joseph, Isaac, and Boaz being "types" of Christ. There are also literal prophecies as well as idiomatic codes. So it depends.

I am in agreement with buckhouse_ryan below...
