40 armor is 50%
20 armor is 25%
And so on....

It's not that simple - having +80 armor won't prevent 100% of damage.

Gaining 20 armor causes you to take roughly 70% of the damage you were taking before, IIRC. The actual formula is logarithmic and rather complicated.

Type in your damage and the enemy's armor, and it will show you the damage taken.
