What is a Percentage Calculator?

A percentage calculator helps you turn everyday questions—like discounts, growth rates, or how far two numbers are apart—into clear numbers. This tool uses standard formulas and explains what it computed so you can trust the result.

How to Calculate Percentages

1. Pick a mode: percent of a number, change between two values, or difference.
2. Enter your values (decimals and negative numbers are allowed where meaningful).
3. Tap Calculate to see the answer, a short explanation, and the formula.
4. Use Reset to clear results and restore example inputs.

Types of Percentage Calculations

• Percentage of a number: answers “What is X% of Y?” using (X ÷ 100) × Y.
• Increase or decrease: compares an original value A to a new value B with ((B − A) ÷ A) × 100. A 0% starting value is undefined, so the tool will warn you.
• Percentage difference: measures how far two values are apart relative to their average magnitude: |V₁ − V₂| ÷ ((|V₁| + |V₂|) ÷ 2) × 100.
