Percentage formulas explained
This calculator covers the three percentage calculations people search for most often:
X% of Y
Formula: (X ÷ 100) × Y. Example: 20% of 150 = (20 ÷ 100) × 150 = 30.
Percentage increase
To increase A by B%: A + (A × B ÷ 100). Example: increasing 500 by 15% gives 500 + 75 = 575. Useful for markups, salary raises, or price hikes.
Percentage decrease
To decrease A by B%: A − (A × B ÷ 100). Example: a 20% discount on Rs. 2,000 brings the price to Rs. 1,600. Useful for discounts, depreciation, and tax deductions.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find what percentage one number is of another? Divide the part by the whole and multiply by 100 — e.g. 45 out of 60 is (45 ÷ 60) × 100 = 75%.
