Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find what percent one number is of another?

Select "what %" mode. Enter the part and the whole. Result = (part ÷ whole) × 100. Example: 15 of 60 = 25%.

How is percent increase calculated?

Percent change = ((new − old) ÷ old) × 100. A rise from 80 to 100 is a 25% increase.

Can I calculate X% of a number?

Yes. Select "% of" mode, enter the percentage and base number. 20% of 150 = 30.

What about negative percent change?

A decrease produces a negative percent change. Dropping from 100 to 80 is −20%.
