Percentage Calculator FAQ

Q: How do I calculate X% of Y?

Multiply X by Y and divide by 100. For example, 15% of 1000 = 1000 × 15 ÷ 100 = 150. Our percentage calculator handles this automatically.

Q: How do I calculate percentage change?

Percentage change = (New Value - Old Value) ÷ Old Value × 100. An increase from 100 to 150 is a 50% increase.

Q: What is reverse percentage?

Reverse percentage finds the original value before a percentage was applied. If an item costs $85 after a 15% discount, the original price was $100.
