⚙️ How Each Mode Works
🔢
% of a Number
Finds X% of Y. For example, 20% of 150 = 30. Useful for calculating discounts, tips, tax amounts, or any portion of a whole.
📈
% Change
Calculates the percentage increase or decrease between two values. Formula: ((New − Old) ÷ Old) × 100. Positive = increase, negative = decrease.
🔍
X is What % of Y
Finds what percentage X represents out of Y. For example, 45 is what percent of 180? Answer: 25%. Useful for test scores, ratios, and proportions.
💡
Real World Use
Use this calculator for tax calculations, exam scores, profit margins, sales discounts, inflation rates, statistical analysis, and everyday math.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
To find X% of Y, multiply Y by X and divide by 100. For example, 15% of 200 = (200 × 15) ÷ 100 = 30. Our calculator does this instantly — just enter the percentage and the number in the first tab.
Percentage increase = ((New Value − Old Value) ÷ Old Value) × 100. For example, if a price went from $80 to $100, the increase is ((100 − 80) ÷ 80) × 100 = 25%. Use the “% Change” tab in this calculator.
A percentage is a ratio expressed as a fraction of 100 (e.g. 75% means 75 out of 100). A percentile is a value below which a certain percentage of data falls in a distribution (e.g. being in the 90th percentile means you scored higher than 90% of people). They are different concepts.
Yes. All three modes in this calculator accept decimal values. For example, you can enter 12.5% or 3.75 as inputs. The calculator handles decimal precision correctly and rounds the result to two decimal places.
To reverse a percentage (find the original value before a percentage was applied), divide the final value by (1 + percentage/100) for increases, or (1 − percentage/100) for decreases. For example, if a price of $120 includes a 20% increase, the original was 120 ÷ 1.20 = $100.
