Common Percentage Calculations

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate X percent of Y?

Multiply Y by X and divide by 100. For example, 20% of 150 is 150 × 20 ÷ 100 = 30. Select the “X% of Y” mode and the calculator does it for you.

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

Divide the first number by the second and multiply by 100. For example, 30 is 15% of 200 because 30 ÷ 200 × 100 = 15.

How do I calculate percent increase?

Subtract the old value from the new value, divide by the old value, and multiply by 100. Going from 50 to 75 is a 50% increase.

What is the difference between percent and percentage points?

A change from 20% to 25% is a 5 percentage point increase, but a 25% relative increase. The calculator’s “percent change” mode gives the relative figure.
