The Percentage Calculator is a flexible tool designed to simplify a wide range of percentage-based computations. Whether you're figuring out discounts, calculating tips, analyzing statistical data, or working on academic problems, this calculator provides clear and precise results.

📊 Calculation Modes

This calculator offers three primary modes to cover common percentage scenarios:

• What is X% of Y?
  Calculates the actual value that X percent represents of a given total Y.
  Example: What is 20% of 150? (Result: 30)
• X is what % of Y?
  Determines what percentage the value X constitutes of another value Y.
  Example: 15 is what % of 75? (Result: 20%)
• X is Y% of what?
  Finds the total amount (the "what") when you know a value X that represents Y percent of it.
  Example: 50 is 25% of what? (Result: 200)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I calculate a percentage of a number?

To find the percentage of a number, convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100, and then multiply it by the number. For example, 25% of 200 is 0.25 × 200 = 50. Our calculator does this in the "What is X% of Y?" mode.

What is the formula to find what percentage one number is of another?

To find what percentage X is of Y, use the formula (X / Y) × 100. For example, to find what percentage 10 is of 50, you calculate (10 / 50) × 100 = 20%.

When would I use the 'X is Y% of what?' calculation?

This is useful when you know a partial amount and the percentage it represents, and you want to find the total. For instance, if you paid a $400 down payment which was 20% of the total price, you can find the total price: ($400 / (20 / 100)) = $2000.
