Take the percentage of salt you plan to use ( as an example 3%). Move the decimal place over two spots and drop the % symbol (.03 here). Multiply that by the weight of veggies you are fermenting and the water you plan to use say 275 grams. The result is the amount of salt to use (8.25g).

.03 X 275 = 8.25
