About Percentage Calculator

A percentage is a way of expressing a number as a fraction of 100. The word "percent" means "per hundred." Percentages are used in many areas including discounts, interest rates, statistics, and more.

Common Formulas:

  • What is X% of Y: (X ÷ 100) × Y
  • X is what % of Y: (X ÷ Y) × 100
  • Percentage Increase: Original × (1 + Percent ÷ 100)
  • Percentage Decrease: Original × (1 − Percent ÷ 100)

Example: If an item costs $100 and is on sale for 20% off, you save $20 and pay $80.
