You have access to a calculator (the computer you used to post this is a calculator). Divide the amount withheld by your gross. Move the decimal point 2 places to the right. The result is the percentage.

comon....its easy
round off the numbers.....
you have $3000 right?.......break it up into tens and go from there. ten percent is 300 right?......you know half of that, 150, would be 5 percent.......
breaking it like that gives you increments, then just add the increments you need.....
