Percentage calculator

Percentages trip people up because the same two numbers can answer three different questions: what is 15% of 200, what share of 200 is 30, and how much did 80 change to become 100. Pick the question, enter two numbers, and get the answer with the exact formula shown beside it. This covers discounts, tax, tips, grade shares, price increases, and the percentage-point versus percent-change distinction that catches so many people out.

The math, plainly

How it works

  1. 01

    Pick the mode first — the same two numbers mean different things in each mode.

  2. 02

    X% of Y multiplies; X as a share of Y divides; percent change divides the difference by the starting value.

  3. 03

    Percent change is negative when the value falls and uses the absolute starting value as its base.
