Your husband's salary is 219% of your salary (of == multiplication, so 219% times your salary). For this case, you multiply your salary by 2.19 (219%) to arrive at your husband's salary (approximate due to rounding of percentage to two decimals).

Another interpretation, signalled by the words "over me," is to express the husbands salary in terms of a difference in percentage. For that, we simply subtract 100% from the above number: your husband makes 119% more than you. For this case, to get to your husband's salary, you multiply your salary by 1.19 (119%) and then take that number and ADD it to your salary.
