How to use picklist value in formula?

I have a picklist with values : 5%, 10%, 15%
And I want to use it in the formula field in percent format only like 5/100.
So please suggest what syntax should I write?

Hi Shruti,

Please try the below formula:
  
VALUE( SUBSTITUTE(TEXT( Piclist Field API ), "%", '') ) / 100

One more suggestion is you can change the API Name of the picklist values for ex: Label is 5% and API Name is 5. Then no formula is required to convert this values directly you can refer in formula.

Thanks,
