Percentage Calculator

Three calculators for common percentage problems.

A percentage calculator solves common percentage problems: finding a percentage of a number, calculating percentage increase or decrease, and determining what percentage one number is of another.

X% of Y = (X × Y) / 100  |  % Change = ((New − Old) / Old) × 100

Example: 25% of 200 = 50. A change from 80 to 100 is a 25% increase.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you calculate a percentage of a number?

To find X% of Y, multiply Y by X and divide by 100: Result = (X x Y) / 100. For example, 25% of 200 = (25 x 200) / 100 = 50.

How do you calculate percentage increase or decrease?

Percentage change = ((New Value - Old Value) / Old Value) x 100. If the result is positive, it is an increase. If negative, it is a decrease. Example: from 80 to 100 = ((100-80)/80) x 100 = 25% increase.

How do you find what percentage X is of Y?

Divide X by Y and multiply by 100: Percentage = (X / Y) x 100. Example: 30 is what percent of 150? (30/150) x 100 = 20%.
