How percentages work
A percentage is a number expressed as a fraction of 100. The word comes from the Latin “per centum,” meaning “by the hundred.” To calculate X% of Y, multiply Y by X/100. For example, 25% of 200 equals 200 × 0.25 = 50. To find what percentage X is of Y, divide X by Y and multiply by 100. These two operations are inverses of each other and cover the majority of everyday percentage math.
Common percentage questions
To find X% of Y, multiply Y by X divided by 100. For example, 15% of 200 = 200 × 0.15 = 30. Use the "What is X% of Y?" calculator above to compute this instantly.
Percentage increase = ((New Value − Old Value) / Old Value) × 100. For example, if a price rises from $80 to $100, the increase is ((100 − 80) / 80) × 100 = 25%. Use the % Change calculator for this.
Percentage change compares a new value to an old value directionally (increase or decrease). Percentage difference is symmetric — it compares two values without implying one is the "before" and one is the "after." Use percentage change for before/after comparisons (stock prices, salaries) and percentage difference for side-by-side comparisons (two lab measurements, two product specs).
Tip amount = Bill × (Tip % / 100). For a 20% tip on a $65 bill: $65 × 0.20 = $13. Total = $78. The Tip Calculator above shows 15%, 18%, 20%, and 25% side by side and splits the total per person.
Sale price = Original price × (1 − Discount% / 100). For 30% off a $120 item: $120 × 0.70 = $84. You save $36. The Discount Calculator handles this in one click.
