Percentage Calculator
Description
Percentages can be confusing, but our Percentage Calculator makes them intuitive and instant. Whether you are trying to figure out a discount during a sale, calculating the tip for a dinner bill, or determining the percentage increase of your investments, this tool covers all common scenarios. We have broken down the concept of "percentage" into three distinct, easy-to-use modes: finding the percentage of a number, finding what percentage one number is of another, and calculating percentage change. This utility is designed to save you time and mental math effort, delivering accurate results instantly without any complex formulas.
What It Does
It converts abstract math problems into simple "fill in the blank" forms. Calculate simple percentages (e.g., 20% of 500), reverse percentages (e.g., 50 is what % of 200?), and percentage difference (increase/decrease).
How To Use
- Choose Mode: Identify what you are trying to find (Percentage Value, Percentage Of, or Change).
- Input Data: Enter the known numbers into the respective fields.
- Calculate: Click the "Calculate" button to see the result immediately.
Who It Is For
Ideal for shoppers calculating discounts, business owners adjusting prices, students learning about ratios, and anyone managing personal finances.
Freqently Asked Questions
Can I calculate percentage decrease?
Yes. In the "Percentage Change" mode, if the final value is lower than the initial value, the tool will show a negative percentage, indicating a decrease.
How do I calculate a discount?
Use the first mode: "What is X% of Y?". If an item is 20% off $50, enter 20 and 50 to see the discount amount ($10).
Does it support decimals?
Absolutely. You can enter values like "12.5%" or "$19.99" and get precise decimal results.
