Percentage Calculator

Three ways to calculate percentages: find what percent, calculate a percentage of a value, and measure percent change between two numbers.

X is what % of Y?

Formulas Used

Mode 1: (X ÷ Y) × 100 = percentage
Mode 2: (X ÷ 100) × Y = result
Mode 3: ((Y − X) ÷ |X|) × 100 = % change

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the three percentage calculation modes?

Mode 1: "X is what % of Y" — finds the percentage. Mode 2: "What is X% of Y" — calculates a percentage of a value. Mode 3: "% change from X to Y" — computes percent increase or decrease between two values.

How do I calculate percentage change?

Enter the original value and the new value. The formula is ((new − old) / |old|) × 100. A positive result means increase (shown in green), negative means decrease (shown in red).

Can I use decimals in the calculator?

Yes. The calculator accepts decimal values in all fields. You can enter values like 12.5, 3.33, or 0.75 for precise calculations.
