A basic way to understand damage values is that in almost every case, Varia Suit cuts the (Power Suit) amount in half, and Gravity Suit cuts the (Power Suit) amount to a quarter. In the case of fractions, the game always rounds down, regardless of their size. In unique cases, this results in Gravity Suit reducing the damage of a source to zero.

The damage reduction from suits do not stack. Gravity Suit by itself will provide the same damage reduction that it would if it were equipped alongside Varia Suit. The only two known exceptions to this are the Super Metroid's energy drain and Mother Brain's rainbow beam, where only Varia Suit causes a reduction in damage. Mother Brain's rainbow beam is the primary reason for Varia Suit being acquired in runs such as Any%, as without it, six Energy Tanks would be required to survive it instead of three.
