Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the Percentage Calculator.
How do I calculate a percentage of a number?
Multiply the number by the percentage and divide by 100. For example, 20% of 500 is 500 times 20 divided by 100, which equals 100.
How do I calculate percentage increase?
Subtract the old value from the new value, divide by the old value and multiply by 100. For example, going from 800 to 1,000 is an increase of 200, which is 25% of 800.
How do I calculate a discount?
Use the plus or minus row. Enter the original price and the discount percentage, and the second result shows the price after the discount. For example, 25% off 2,000 is 1,500.
How do I find the original number from a percentage?
Use the last row. If 90 is 30% of a number, divide 90 by 0.30 to get 300. This is useful for working backwards from a known share.
