Percentage Calculator

X% of a number, percentage change & more

Quick Answer — Percentage Formula

To find X% of a number: multiply the number by X and divide by 100. Example: 15% of ₹2,000 = (2000 × 15) ÷ 100 = ₹300. For percentage change: ((New - Old) ÷ Old) × 100.

Formula & Worked Example

The math behind the Percentage Calculator

Mathematical Formula

X\% \;of\; N = \frac{X \times N}{100}
Core percentage operations: - **Find X% of N**: Result = (X × N) / 100 - **What % is A of B**: Percentage = (A / B) × 100 - **Percentage Change**: ((New − Old) / Old) × 100 - **Increase by X%**: Result = N × (1 + X/100) - **Decrease by X%**: Result = N × (1 − X/100)

Step-by-Step Worked Example

**Finding 15% of ₹2,000:** - Result = (15 × 2,000) / 100 = **₹300** **Percentage change from ₹500 to ₹650:** - Change = ((650 − 500) / 500) × 100 = **30% increase**

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the Percentage Calculator

How do I calculate percentage of a number?
Multiply the number by the percentage and divide by 100. Formula: X% of N = (X × N) / 100. Example: 25% of 800 = (25 × 800) / 100 = 200. Shortcut: move the decimal point of the percentage two places left and multiply.
How do I find what percentage one number is of another?
Divide the part by the whole and multiply by 100. Formula: (Part / Whole) × 100. Example: 45 is what percent of 180? Answer: (45/180) × 100 = 25%.
How do I calculate percentage increase or decrease?
Percentage Change = ((New Value − Old Value) / Old Value) × 100. Positive result = increase, Negative = decrease. Example: Price went from ₹500 to ₹650: Change = ((650-500)/500) × 100 = 30% increase.
How do I reverse a percentage? (Find original price after discount)
Original Price = Discounted Price / (1 − Discount%/100). Example: An item costs ₹680 after 15% discount. Original = 680 / (1 - 0.15) = 680 / 0.85 = ₹800.
How do I calculate cumulative percentage change?
Cumulative change is NOT the sum of individual changes. If something increases by 20% then decreases by 20%, the result is NOT 0%. It is: 100 × 1.20 × 0.80 = 96 — a net 4% decrease. Always multiply the factors, do not add percentages.
