Which calculator to use

What is X% of Y finds a part of a total: 15% of 200 is 30. It's the one for tips, tax and discounts.

X is what percent of Y finds a share: 30 out of 200 is 15%. Use it for scores, survey results and budgets.

Percentage change from X to Y measures growth or decline: going from 100 to 150 is +50%, and from 150 back to 100 is -33.33%. Notice those aren't the same size; a percentage change is always measured against the starting value.

Percent versus percentage points

If an interest rate goes from 4% to 5%, it has risen by one percentage point, but by 25% in relative terms (1 is a quarter of 4). Reports mix these up all the time. This calculator's change box gives the relative change, so 4 to 5 shows +25%.

  • Turning a test score into a percentage, like 42 out of 50.
  • Measuring a salary rise, price change or growth from one value to another.
  • Checking figures in a report or spreadsheet.
