Depends!

(If the sentence starts and ends inside the brackets the punctuation does too.)

If the sentence is part in (and part out) the punctuation goes outside the brackets.

It is the same with quotation marks (look in a newspaper and you'll see what I mean).

Where does the period go when using parenthese?

If one or more sentences are between parentheses, then put the period or other final punctuation between the parentheses: Always thank the bellboy. (Usually you should also tip him.) Otherwise put the period or other final punctuation outside the final parenthesis: Always thank the bellboy (and any other staff who has aided you). The period or other final punctuation belongs to the sentence as a whole. If the entire sentence is within parentheses, naturally that includes the final punctuation. If the parentheses enclose only part of sentence, naturally the final punctuation goes outside.

Do commas go inside quotations marks?

British style places commas and periods that are not part of the quoted material outside of the quotation marks. Also, in technical applications or when discussing coding, punctuation that is not part of a text string should be placed outside of the quotes. Placing commas and periods inside the quotes implies that they are part of the string to be displayed.


Do percent signs go inside or outside parenthesis for negative numbers?

I believe the parentheses eliminate the need for the negative sign. For example: negative $100,000 would be expressed $(100,000). Using the negative sign, it would read: -$100,000.
