Sorry but something doesn't quite make sense. You say you have a custom number column called Budget Cost, but number fields will always have a default value of zero. Are you sure you don't mean your Budget Cost field is a custom Text field?
Project does have a Budget Cost field but it is only applicable to the Project Summary Task.

IIf([Text2]<>"",format([Text2]/186000*100,"#.00") & " %","")
Hope this helps.
