(3) For the purposes of this section, a person’s adjusted percentage is the percentage worked out using the following formula (for rounding up, see subsection (4)): ![Start formula start fraction Annual pension rate over Maximum basic rate end fraction times 100 end formula](image.017.png) where: > maximum basic rate is the sum of the person’s maximum basic rate under point SCH6‑B1 and the person’s pension supplement basic amount, ascertained as at the date of grant of the designated pension. (4) A percentage worked out under subsection (3) is to be calculated to 3 decimal places. However, if a percentage worked out under subsection (3) would, if it were calculated to 4 decimal places, end in a digit that is greater than 4, the percentage is to be increased by 0.001.
