About the Percentage Calculator

Five everyday percentage questions in one calculator: find a percentage of a number, express one number as a percentage of another, measure the percentage change between two values, and add or subtract a percentage. The formula used is shown so you can check the math.

How to use it

  1. Pick the type of calculation.
  2. Enter X and Y.
  3. Read the result, which updates as you type.

Good to know

  • Percentage change from zero is undefined and reported as an error.
  • Percentage change uses the absolute value of the starting number, so changes from negative values are measured correctly.
