Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate a percentage of a number?
Multiply the number by the percentage and divide by 100. For example, 15% of 80 = 80 × 15 ÷ 100 = 12. The calculator does this instantly and shows the formula.
How is percentage change different from percentage difference?
Percentage change compares a new value to the original: (new − old) ÷ old × 100. It is positive for increases and negative for decreases — that is what the third calculator computes.
Does it work with decimals and negatives?
Yes. Type any real numbers — decimals and negative values are handled, and division by zero is caught with a clear message.
