How can I calculate it manually? Like I have 1000 words on my page and the main keyword is used 5 times. How much % is that?

And how many words is that main keyword? If it's just one word keyword, then your density is 0.5%. If it's 2 word keyword, then it's 1%. If it's 3 word keyword, then it's 1.5%. It's not a rocket science.

Also, read this guide from Phpbuilt - https://www.sendspace.com/file/6wxwtr
 
(x times keyword / total amount of words) * 100 = x% density
 
Word Count - 1000
keyword - 5
keyword density = ((keyword / wordcount) * 100 )
keyword density = ((5/1000)/*100) = 0.5%
within 1% of keyword density is fine for the content

its a 4 word keyword. So if I used my 4 word keyword 5 times on 1000 word post it means the keyword density is 2%?

Also lets just say my keyword is: "free points"
But if i use the keywords like: "Get free points" "Earn free points" "free points now!" will this count as keyword density for "free points" or no?

Yes that would be 2%.

And in that case you stated, only "free points" will be counted as a keyword. "Get free points" would be counted as a different keyword. Read the book in the link I posted.
 
Keyword density can be check using smallseotool just Google it and paste your content. All the best
 
Or just use the famous yoast plugin which does the calculations for you and gives you the % right away..
 
I think keyword density is no longer SEO factor, but if you have time for loosing go for it.
