About Percentage Calculator

The Percentage Calculator covers the six problems people actually bring to one: X% of a number, percentage change, reverse percentages, adding a percentage for tax or a tip, taking one off for a discount, and the percentage difference between two values. Each answer shows the arithmetic behind it, so you can check the working rather than trust the box.

Frequently Asked Questions

Use "Add %" for anything that goes on top, like 19% VAT or a 15% tip, and "Subtract %" for money coming off, like 20% at the till. Both keep your numbers when you switch between them, so you can see the before and after without retyping.
