Sorry I am a bit thick when it comes to maths.
I am trying to calculate the value of £4357 before 20% was deducted.
Please can someone help?

Divide it by 80%.
£4,357 / 80% = £5,446.25.I am a mortgage broker. You should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

TBH I don't actually understand what you are trying to do.
If you are using a calculator you simply key;-
4 3 5 7 press the divide key then 8 0 %.
Where's this 26% suddenly come from? Why are you "plus"ing anything?I am a mortgage broker.

I am looking at some accounts, the agent takes 26% of the income, money left after taking his 26% is 4357 I am trying to find out how much the original amount was

4357 x 100 / 740

If 4357 is 74% of the total then the total would be £5888
£5888 * 74% = £43570 -

TBH I was struggling to connect this to mortgages & endowments, but I thought we might just be better at maths than those on other fora.
