I am trying to perform a calculation of a parameter field inside of an InfoBox, but keep getting errors. Mostly: "Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "{".

What I am trying to do is all InfoBox pages has set number value provided in a field called 'points'. In another field called 'g-e_pts' I want to take the points param and times it by 5% to give that field a new calculated number.

An example I have been messing with unsuccessfully is of test page Saint Fish which is using a template FishInfo. As stated before, it has a field param called 'points' in which all fish pages already has a provided number given. So I have tried to do parser function of #Expr in the 'g-e_pts' field to no avail. I have found this help page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Calculation#Error_messages which tells me that using a param (ie. ) will result in that error message, but can not figure out how to rectify this.
