Calculate Percentages Online

This percentage calculator solves the five most common percent problems in one place: finding a percentage of a number, working out what percent one number is of another, calculating percentage increase or decrease, adding or removing a percentage such as a discount or tax, and finding the original number from a known part. Results appear instantly as you type, and nothing you enter leaves your browser.

Percentage formulas

X% of Y = X ÷ 100 × Y. X is what percent of Y = X ÷ Y × 100. Percentage change = (new − old) ÷ old × 100. Increase by X% = Y × (1 + X ÷ 100), and decrease by X% = Y × (1 − X ÷ 100). Whole from a part = part ÷ (percent ÷ 100).

Everyday uses

Work out a shopping discount, add VAT or tax to a price, check a salary raise, compare marks or scores, calculate a tip, or see how much a price has risen since last year. The change calculator shows a clear increase or decrease label so you never have to guess the direction.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the percentage change different when I swap the numbers? The change is always measured against the starting value, so going from 80 to 100 is +25%, but going from 100 to 80 is −20%.

Can I use decimals and negative numbers? Yes. Both are supported.

Is it free? Yes. This percent calculator is free with no sign-up.
