Percentage formulas

Percentage of an amount

X% of Y = X × Y ÷ 100. For example, 15% of 200 is 30.

What percentage is

X is (X ÷ Y) × 100% of Y. For example, 50 is 25% of 200.

Percent change

(Y − X) ÷ |X| × 100. Going from 80 to 100 is a 25% increase; going from 100 to 80 is a 20% decrease.

Tips for calculating percentages

💡

A 20% discount followed by another 20% discount is not 40%: it's 36%. Apply them one after the other.

💡

Going up 25% and then down 25% doesn't leave you where you started: you end up 6.25% lower.

💡

To convert a percentage to a decimal, divide by 100: 15% = 0.15.

💡

If the change is negative, it's a decrease.

Frequently asked questions about percentages

How do you find the percentage of a number?

Multiply the number by the percentage and divide by 100. 15% of 200 is 200 × 15 ÷ 100 = 30.

How do I calculate a discount?

Use the “Add or subtract a percentage” card: enter the discount and the price, and the result with the − sign is what you'll pay.

How do I calculate the percent increase between two values?

Subtract the starting value from the final value, divide by the starting value and multiply by 100. The percent change card does it for you.
