About Percentage calculator
Calculates X percent of Y, what percent X is of Y, and percentage change, in your browser, with no form submission.
Three questions eat most percentage searches: what's X% of Y, what percent is X of Y, and how much did a number change. Putting them on one page means I don't maintain three nearly identical forms, and you don't have to guess which landing page matches the sentence in your head.
The first block is X% of Y, defaulting to 10% of 200 so you can see a result before you overwrite it. The second is 'X is what percent of Y'. The third is percentage change from A to B, which is (B − A) / A, and which is undefined if A is zero, the page won't invent a number. All three update as you type. None of them are sent anywhere.
For a restaurant tip split, use the tip calculator. For units, use the unit converter. Percentages here are ordinary real-number arithmetic.

- Division by zero is refused, not pretty-printed as Infinity.
Common questions
What formula does 'percentage change' use?
(to − from) / from, times 100. An increase from 10 to 200 is +1900%. A drop from 200 to 10 is −95%. If 'from' is zero, there's no finite percentage change and the result stays blank-looking rather than Infinity.
Is 'X% of Y' the same as 'X is what % of Y'?
No. 10% of 200 is 20. 10 as a percent of 200 is 5%. The two blocks sit on the same page because people mix the sentences up, not because the math is the same.
Where is the tip calculator?
On its own page under Calculators. This percentage page stays three arithmetic questions; the tip tool is bill + percent + split.
