Scale

For scale values (life, weapon damage, abilities, talents, etc...), it is always a decimal value. Multiplying it by 100 will give the scaling as a percentage (0.04 as 4%).

To calculate a value at a certain level use the following formula:

BaseValue × (1 + ScalingPercent/100)^Level 
-or-
BaseValue × (1 + scale)^Level

Note: BaseValue is a level 0 (starting value) not a level 1 value

Example:

Ragnaros life at level 0 = 2000
For level 3 Ragnaros

2000 × (1 + 0.04)^3 = 2249.728 ≈ 2250 life

Scaling for Mana

Mana and mana regeneration do not scale at each level. Instead they both receive a flat amount increase at each level, starting at level 2 (going from 1 to 2) which is based on veterancy data.

Mana: +10
Mana Regeneration: +0.0976

Example:

Level 3 Ragnaros will have the following
Mana: 520  
Mana Regeneration: 3.1952 ≈ 3.20
