How It Works
The Percentage Calculator uses simple formulas to deliver accurate results instantly. Here's how it breaks down:
-
What is X% of Y?
Multiply the percentage (X) by the total value (Y) and divide by 100. For example, 20% of 100 is (20 × 100) ÷ 100 = 20. -
X is what percent of Y?
Divide the part (X) by the total (Y), then multiply by 100. For example, 25 is what percent of 100? (25 ÷ 100) × 100 = 25%. -
Percentage Increase/Decrease
Subtract the initial value (X) from the final value (Y), divide by the initial value, and multiply by 100. For example, if you go from 50 to 75, the increase is ((75 - 50) ÷ 50) × 100 = 50%.
