There is no 'percent calculation' for asthma as it is a polygenic disease, that is, a disease caused by the involvement of many genes. If it were a simple monogenic disease (1 gene) then you could better calculate your odds of having it. Unfortunately, asthma is a very diverse disease and it is very difficult to understand the causes as well as the symptoms. It is thought, by scientists and doctors, that the disease is caused by both genetic and environmental factors. A risk of being prone to the disease can be passed on through your parents, but also the air you breathe (pollution), the work you do (dust, sawdust, chemicals, etc), and the sicknesses you get (I.E., airway infections) all play a role in the development of the disease.
