HelpFrequently asked questions
How do I calculate percentage change?
Subtract the original value from the new value, divide by the absolute value of the original, then multiply by 100. A positive result is an increase; a negative result is a decrease.
What is the difference between percentage change and percentage difference?
Percentage change treats the first value as the starting point. Percentage difference treats both values equally and divides their absolute difference by their average magnitude.
How do I add or subtract a percentage?
Calculate the percentage amount from the starting value, then add it for an increase or subtract it for a decrease. The calculator shows both the adjustment and final amount.
How do I find the original number before a percentage was applied?
Choose reverse percentage, identify whether the known result is a portion of the original or follows an increase or decrease, then enter the result and percentage.
What does "X is what percent of Y" mean?
It answers questions like "50 is what percent of 200", which is useful for figuring out what share one number makes up of a total.
Why is percentage change from zero undefined?
Percentage change divides by the starting value. When that starting value is zero there is no finite baseline, so a conventional percentage change cannot be calculated.
