If you have a good reason to set aside culture-dependent formatting and get explicit control over whether or not there s a space between the value and the      and whether the     is leading or trailing  you can use NumberFormatInfo s PercentPositivePattern and PercentNegativePattern properties     For example  to get a decimal value with a trailing     and no space between the value and the       myValue ToString  P2   new NumberFormatInfo   PercentPositivePattern   1  PercentNegativePattern   1       More complete example   using System Globalization         decimal myValue   -0 123m  NumberFormatInfo percentageFormat   new NumberFormatInfo   PercentPositivePattern   1  PercentNegativePattern   1    string formattedValue   myValue ToString  P2   percentageFormat       -12 30    in en-us

I have found the above answer to be the best solution  but I don t like the leading space before the percent sign  I have seen somewhat complicated solutions  but I just use this Replace addition to the answer above instead of using other rounding solutions   String Format  Value   0 P2     0 8526  Replace              formats as 85 26   varies by culture

Use the P format string  This will vary by culture   String Format  Value   0 P2     0 8526     formats as 85 26    varies by culture
