The % of vacuum is a relative value where pressure at normal or standard atmosphere is the base value.

p_v% = 100% - (p_v / p_atm) 100% (1)

where

p_v% = vacuum (%)

p_v = absolute pressure (psia, kPa, bar ..)

p_atm = absolute presure at normal or standard conditions (psia, kPa, bar ..)

The vacuum with absolute pressure 4 kPa and standard pressure 101.4 kPa can be calculated as

p_v% = 100% - ((4 kPa) / (101.4 kPa)) 100%

= 96.1 %

The vacuum with absolute pressure 0.1 bar and standard pressure 1 bar can be calculated as

p_v% = 100% - ((0.1 bar) / (1 bar)) 100%

= 90 %
