Percentage Calculator

Three everyday percentage problems in one place: "20% of 200" for discounts and tips, "50 is what % of 200" for shares and grades, and "% change from 100 to 120" for growth, inflation and price moves.

The three modes

X% of Y — multiply: 20% of 200 = 40. X is what % of Y — divide: 50 ÷ 200 = 25%. % change — (new − old) ÷ old: 100 → 120 is a 20% increase.

Watch the base

Percent change is asymmetric: up 50% then down 50% does not return to start (100 → 150 → 75). Always note what the percent is of.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find a percent increase?

Subtract old from new, divide by old, multiply by 100. 100 → 120 is (20/100) × 100 = 20%.

What is the difference between "% of" and "% change"?

"% of" is a slice of a whole; "% change" compares two values over time. They answer different questions.
