Percentage formulas at a glance
| Calculation | Formula | Example |
|---|---|---|
| X% of Y | (X ÷ 100) × Y | 20% of 150 = 30 |
| X is what % of Y | (X ÷ Y) × 100 | 30 is 75% of 40 |
| % change from X to Y | ((Y − X) ÷ X) × 100 | 80 to 100 is a 25% increase |
| Increase X by P% | X × (1 + P ÷ 100) | 80 increased by 25% = 100 |
| Decrease X by P% | X × (1 − P ÷ 100) | 80 decreased by 25% = 60 |
FAQ
Is this percentage calculator really free, with no sign-up?+
Yes. The percentage calculator runs entirely with JavaScript in your browser, so there is no account, no API key, and no limit on how many times you can use it.
Does my data get uploaded anywhere?+
No. All numbers you enter are processed locally on your device. Nothing is sent to a server, stored, or logged.
How do I calculate percentage increase or decrease?+
Subtract the original value from the new value, divide by the original value, then multiply by 100. A positive result is a percentage increase and a negative result is a percentage decrease.
How do I find what percent one number is of another?+
Divide the first number by the second number, then multiply by 100. For example, 30 out of 40 is (30 / 40) x 100 = 75%.
Can this calculator handle negative numbers?+

How do I calculate a percentage discount or percent off?+

How do I find the original price before a discount?+
Use the "X is what % of Y" mode with the sale price and the percentage you paid (100 minus the discount) to work back to the original price.
