    How to calculate percentage remaining

    Hi everyone, first post so apologies if i'm in the wrong area of the forum.

    I'm trying to calculate percentage remaining.

    I have the following.

    Cell B29 £1541.05 and Cell B30 £1098.10.

    I have done =B30/B29 to give the "percentage used" of 71.26% displayed in cell B34

    How do I get the remaining "percentage available" 28.74% to display in cell B35?

    I'm sure i'm probably just being a bit thick as I managed to do the first one fine.

    Thanks.

    I tried the first answer and that worked perfect.
    I'll give the others a try and see what happens.
    Thank you.
