How it works

The formula

X% of Y = (X/100) x Y. Percentage change = (New - Old) / |Old| x 100. "X is what % of Y" = (X / Y) x 100.

FAQ

How do I calculate percentage change?

Subtract the old value from the new one, divide by the old value, and multiply by 100. Going from 200 to 250 is a +25% change; going from 250 to 200 is a -20% change — the asymmetry is normal and expected.

What does "15% of 80" mean?

It asks for the part of 80 that is 15 one-hundredths of the whole: 12. Useful for tips, taxes, discounts, and anything where a rate applies to a base amount.
