Everything runs in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded for the calculation.

Quick tips

  • Label which number is the base in what-percent problems, backwards inputs flip the answer.
  • Percent change is asymmetric, always report direction clearly in slides and reports.
  • For mental checks, 10% of a number is easy to halve for 5% or double for 20%.
  • Pair with the Unit Converter when a percentage applies to a measurement you still need to convert.

Formulas

  • percentOf: result = (a/100) × b
  • whatPercent: result = (a/b) × 100
  • increaseBy: result = a × (1 + b/100)
  • decreaseBy: result = a × (1 − b/100)
  • change: ((new − old) / |old|) × 100
