According to description, shield boost amount bonus should be 7.5%
But no, it isn't. With 5 in the relevant skills:

Golem gives 7.5% bonus and this checks out as:
600 + 5 X 0.075 X 600 = 825. Check, this is what I get.

Maelstrom gives me only 734.25. What is this supposed to be?
If it's calculated the same way as Golem, it works out as only 4.475%

You're doing something wrong. Without more details as to how you're testing I can't tell what, but the Maelstrom bonus is the same as the Golem bonus and has always worked exactly the same way for me.

You have Minmatar Battleship set at 3 which makes an T2 XL Booster run 735 a cycle, set it to 5 and it comes out 825.

No, I have Minmatar Battleship skill at 5. (and I don't get 735, I get 734.25, and that is significant)

I appreciate the comments that I must be doing something wrong, because it seems strange to me. But no, I use T2 XL Booster for a base of 600, and basically have 5 in all ship skills.

600 * (1 + 5 * 0.075) = 825
(734.25 - 825) / 825 = -11 percent

Capacitor Power Relay II by any chance?

EFT shows all is fine = same for mael/varg/golem final tanks are different due to different resists though.
