What is Percentage Calculator?

A percentage calculator works out percentage-based math quickly and accurately. Percentages come up constantly in everyday life β€” calculating a discount, working out a tip, figuring a tax amount, finding what fraction one number is of another, or seeing how much something increased or decreased. Rather than remembering the formulas and doing the arithmetic by hand, a percentage calculator gives you the answer instantly across several common types of percentage problems.

There isn't just one percentage calculation β€” there are several distinct types, and people often mix them up. What is X% of Y? X is what percent of Y? What is the percentage increase or decrease from one number to another? The ConvertDox Percentage Calculator handles each of these as a separate, clearly-labeled calculation, so you pick the question you're actually asking and get the right answer. Everything is computed in your browser, instantly, with no signup.

Tips for Best Results

  • Be clear which question you're asking β€” "X% of Y" is different from "X is what percent of Y"
  • For discounts, "30% off" means you pay 70% of the original price
  • Percentage increase and decrease use the original value as the baseline
  • To add a percentage (like tax), multiply by 1 plus the rate as a decimal β€” e.g. 1.08 for 8%
  • Double-check whether a figure is a percentage or a percentage-point change β€” they're not the same
  • Use the tool to sanity-check mental math before making a decision
