Percentage Calculator

Three handy percentage calculators in one: percent of a number, percent ratio, and percent change.

① What is X% of Y?
% of =
② X is what % of Y?
is what % of =
③ Percentage Change (from X to Y)
From to =

Formula: X% of Y

Result = (X ÷ 100) × Y. For example, 25% of 200 = (25÷100)×200 = 50.

Formula: X of Y as %

Percentage = (X ÷ Y) × 100. For example, 50 is 25% of 200 because (50÷200)×100 = 25.

Percentage Change

Change% = ((New – Old) ÷ Old) × 100. A positive result is an increase; negative is a decrease.

About This Percentage Calculator

This percentage calculator combines three of the most common percentage problems into one place: finding X percent of Y, checking what percent one number is of another, and measuring percentage increase or decrease. It is useful for students, shoppers, business owners, marketers, and anyone working with prices, marks, margins, or analytics.

Because the page includes multiple calculation modes, you can move from one type of question to another without leaving the tool.

The formulas are shown on the page as well, so it works both as a quick calculator and as a learning aid.
