📌 What is Percentage Calculator?

Percentages are simple until direction matters. A 50% rise followed by a 50% fall does not return you to where you started, because each percentage is measured against a different base. Having the working shown alongside the answer makes these cases easy to check rather than easy to get wrong.

  1. Open the Percentage Calculator using the button below
  2. Pick the mode you need from the three tabs
  3. Enter your two numbers
  4. Read the answer along with the working underneath

❓ Frequently asked questions

How do I find X% of a number?
Multiply the number by the percentage and divide by 100. For example, 15% of 2400 is 2400 x 15 / 100 = 360.
How do I work out what percentage one number is of another?
Divide the first by the second and multiply by 100. So 45 out of 150 is 30%.
How is percentage change calculated?
Subtract the original from the new value, divide by the original, then multiply by 100. A negative result means a decrease.
Why is a 50% rise then a 50% fall not back to the start?
Each percentage applies to a different base. 100 rises to 150, then 50% of 150 is 75 — not 100.
