A calculator for every percentage question
Percentages come up all the time and somehow are always confusing. This page has a small calculator for each common question, so you don't have to remember any formulas.
What is 15% of 80? 12 is what percent of 60? How much did the price go up from 40 to 50? There's also a sale price calculator with tax, and a quick tip and bill splitter.
Frequently asked questions
Is going up 10% and then down 10% the same as no change?
No, and this catches lots of people. 100 up 10% is 110. 110 down 10% is 99. Try it in the increase/decrease box.
Percentage points vs percent?
If a rate goes from 4% to 5%, that's up 1 percentage point, but up 25 percent. News stories mix these up a lot.
