📈 How to Calculate Percentages — 10 Essential Formulas

Percentages represent parts per hundred. Whether you're calculating discounts, grades, tips, or growth rates, these 10 formulas cover every common scenario:

  1. Basic percentage: (Part ÷ Whole) × 100 = Percentage
  2. What is X% of Y? Y × (X ÷ 100) = Result
  3. X is what % of Y? (X ÷ Y) × 100 = Percentage
  4. Percentage increase: ((New − Old) ÷ Old) × 100
  5. Percentage decrease: ((Old − New) ÷ Old) × 100
  6. Discount price: Price − (Price × Discount%/100)
  7. Tax-inclusive price: Price × (1 + Tax%/100)
  8. Percentage to decimal: Percentage ÷ 100
  9. Decimal to percentage: Decimal × 100
  10. Percentage to fraction: Percentage/100 then simplify

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate percentage increase?

Percentage increase = ((New Value - Old Value) / Old Value) × 100. For example, if a price went from $50 to $65: ((65-50)/50) × 100 = 30% increase.

What is 15% of 200?

15% of 200 = 200 × (15/100) = 200 × 0.15 = 30. Mental math shortcut: find 10% (20) + 5% (10) = 30.

How do I convert a fraction to a percentage?

Divide the numerator by the denominator, then multiply by 100. For example, 3/8 = 0.375 × 100 = 37.5%.

What is the percentage difference between two numbers?

Percentage difference = |Value1 - Value2| / ((Value1 + Value2) / 2) × 100. This measures how different two values are relative to their average.

Can a percentage be more than 100%?

Yes! A percentage above 100% means the value exceeds the baseline. For example, if a stock went from $50 to $150, that's a 200% increase (the growth is 2x the original).

How do I calculate my exam percentage?

Add up your total marks obtained across all subjects, divide by the total maximum marks, then multiply by 100. Example: 420 out of 500 = (420/500) × 100 = 84%.
