About the percentage calculator

The percentage calculator answers the three percentage questions that come up most in daily life: what is a percent of a number, what percent one number is of another, and how much a value changed between two figures. Enter your numbers and the result appears right away, so you can check a tip, a discount, a test score, or a month over month change without opening a spreadsheet.

It runs entirely in your browser, needs no sign-up, and keeps no record of the numbers you enter. Use it on your phone or your desktop, whichever is closer.

How to use

  1. Choose the calculation you need: percent of a number, what percent one value is of another, or percent change.
  2. Enter the two values in the labelled fields. Whole numbers and decimals both work.
  3. Select Calculate to see the result below the inputs.
  4. Adjust either value to compare scenarios, or copy the result to reuse it elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find a percent of a number?
Use the percent-of calculation, enter the percent and the number, then select Calculate. For example, 20 percent of 80 is 16.

Subtract the starting value from the ending value, divide by the starting value, then multiply by 100. The calculator does each step for you.
