A Guide to the Percentage Calculator
This calculator helps you solve various percentage-related problems. It has two main modes: Percentage Calculator and Percentage Change.
1. Percentage Calculator
This mode is used to solve simple percentage problems. By entering any two of the three fields (Initial Value, Percent, Final Value), the third field will be automatically calculated.
- What is X% of Y? For example, what is 15% of 200? Enter 15 in the 'Percent' field and 200 in the 'Initial Value' field. The 'Final Value' will be calculated as 30.
- X is what percent of Y? For example, 30 is what percent of 200? Enter 30 in the 'Final Value' field and 200 in the 'Initial Value' field. The 'Percent' will be calculated as 15.
- X is Y% of what? For example, 30 is 15% of what? Enter 30 in the 'Final Value' field and 15 in the 'Percent' field. The 'Initial Value' will be calculated as 200.
2. Percentage Change
This mode is used to calculate the increase or decrease between two numbers. By entering any two of the four fields (Initial Value, Percent, Change, Final Value), the other two fields will be automatically calculated. You can input positive or negative numbers to represent increase or decrease.
The formulas are:
PercentageChange = (FinalValue - InitialValue) / InitialValue * 100%FinalValue = InitialValue * (1 + PercentageChange / 100)- Calculate percentage change: For example, to find the percentage increase from 50 to 60, enter 50 in 'Initial Value' and 60 in 'Final Value'. The calculator will show a 20% increase and a 'Change' of 10.
- Calculate final value: For example, if a price of $80 is decreased by 25%, enter 80 in 'Initial Value' and -25 in the 'Percent' field. The calculator will show a 'Final Value' of 60 and a 'Change' of -20.
