Percentage calculator

Work out percentages three ways: a percent of a number, one number as a percent of another, and increases or decreases.

About this calculator

Use the first box to find a percentage of a number, such as 15% of 240. Use the second to find what percent one number is of another. Use the third to raise or lower a number by a percentage.

To find a percent by hand, divide by 100 and multiply. So 15% of 240 is 0.15 × 240 = 36.
