Does anyone know the formula to determine villains raise percentage in relation to the pot?
So for example I bet $5 into $10 and villain raises to $20, is there I way to find out what %age of the pot he just raised?

Raise% = (How much you increase the wager by) / (size of the pot if you had called instead)
So yeah what ZK said, 15/20 = 75% pot-sized raise.
The way to think about it is to imagine they had said, "I see your $5 bet (pot is now $20), and raise you another $15". They matched your bet, then bet 15 into 20, e.g. 75%.
Even though that wording would be a string bet, it's how raises work in poker math.
