Common questions

How do I calculate what percent one number is of another?

Use the X is what percent of Y calculator: enter both numbers and read the percentage. 12 of 96 is 12.5%, and your own numbers compute just as instantly.

How do I calculate percentage increase or decrease?

Enter the before and after values, and the calculator reports the change as a percentage: from 250 to 310 is a 24% increase. It handles decreases and the direction automatically.

How do I figure out a discount price?

The discount calculator takes the price and the percent off and shows what you pay and what you save: 30% off $80 is $56, saving $24.

How much should I tip?

The tip calculator turns the bill and your chosen percentage into the tip and total instantly, ending the post-dinner phone-math huddle.

Why are percentages so easy to get backwards?

Because 'X% of Y', 'X is what % of Y', and '% change from X to Y' are three different calculations wearing similar words. The calculator separates them into clearly labeled sections so the phrasing picks the math for you.
