Why You'll Love This Percent Calculator

This percent calculator finds a percent, an increase, and a decrease. It shows all results together, so you can compare. Labels use plain terms like Initial Value and Percentage. It works with whole numbers and decimals.

How It Works

Enter any number in Initial Value. Enter your percent as a number in Percentage. The calculator uses simple formulas to build four results.

• It finds the percent amount from the initial value.
• It adds that amount to show the increased value.
• It subtracts that amount to show the decreased value.
• It tells what percent the Initial Value is of the second number.

The first three lines use the Percentage field as a percent. The last line treats that same field as a plain number. That line answers a ratio question, and it helps with scores or parts of a whole.

1. Type your base number in Initial Value for example 100.
2. Enter the percent in Percentage for example 25.
3. Select Calculate.
