    How about..

    =(A2-A1)/365 and format as %

    where A1 is start date and A2 is end date
    Life's a spreadsheet, Excel!

    How accurate do you want to be? This formula will take into account leap years and will work for any date in any year (assuming that the year start is 1st April in every year)

    =(A2-DATE(YEAR(A2+275)-1,4,1)+1)/SUM(DATE(YEAR(A2+275)-{0,1},4,1)*{1,-1})

    assumes 27 Aug 2012 or whatever is in A2
