About Percentage Calculator

Percentage Calculator covers the everyday percentage questions in one place: a percent of a number, the ratio of two numbers as a percent, the change between two numbers, and increases or decreases.

It also reverses a change to find the original value and splits a tax-inclusive amount. It runs in your browser.

How to use it

  1. Pick the question you are asking.
  2. Enter the two numbers.
  3. Read the answer, rounded sensibly.

Common questions

How is percent change calculated?

The difference between the two values divided by the absolute value of the first, times 100. Going from 80 to 100 is a 25 percent increase.

What does the tax split do?

Given an amount that already includes tax at a rate, it works out the base amount and the tax portion.

Why does it refuse some inputs?

Dividing by zero has no answer, so a zero denominator or a zero starting value is rejected.

Does anything leave my browser?

No. The tool runs entirely on this page.
