HOW IT WORKS

Calculate percentages, shares and percentage changes

Find a percentage of a value, compare one number with another, or measure how much a value has increased or decreased.

Percentage of a value

Multiply the value by the percentage and divide by 100. For example, 15% of 200 equals 30.

Part as a percentage of a whole

Divide the part by the whole and multiply by 100. The result is undefined if the whole is zero.

Percentage increase or decrease

Compare the difference with the original value. A positive result is an increase and a negative result is a decrease.
