FAQ

Common questions

How do I calculate X% of Y?

Multiply Y by X divided by 100. For example, 20% of 150 is 150 x 0.20 = 30.

How do I calculate what percent one number is of another?

Divide the part by the whole, then multiply by 100. For example, 30 out of 150 is 30 / 150 x 100 = 20%.

How is percentage change calculated?

Percentage change = (new - old) / |old| x 100. A positive result is an increase, a negative result is a decrease.

What if the whole or old value is zero?

Percent-of and percentage change need a non-zero base. The tool shows a friendly note and skips the percentage in that case.

How many decimal places do you show?

Answers are rounded to two decimal places. The math itself uses full precision.
