How it works?

This calculator has two independent panels, each using a fill-any-two model: enter any two values and the third is computed instantly. The calculated field is marked auto. Edit that field at any time - it becomes a normal input and the oldest entry becomes the new computed field.

Panel 1 (A is X% of B) answers questions such as: 25 is what percent of 200? or What is 15% of 80? The math is X = (A ÷ B) × 100, A = B × X ÷ 100, or B = A × 100 ÷ X depending on which field is empty.

Panel 2 (Percentage change) computes the relative difference between two numbers. The larger / smaller toggle sets the direction when X% is entered manually. When A and B are both provided, the toggle is set automatically based on whether B exceeds A or not, and X% is shown as a positive value.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find what percentage A is of B?

Use Panel 1. Enter the values for A and B and leave X% empty - it is computed automatically as (A ÷ B) × 100. For example, enter A = 25 and B = 200 to get X = 12.5%.

How do I calculate X% of a number?

Use Panel 1. Enter the percentage in X% and the base number in B, then leave A empty. It computes as B × X ÷ 100. For example, X = 20 and B = 150 gives A = 30.

How do I find the percentage change from one number to another?

Use Panel 2. Enter the starting value in A and the ending value in B, then leave X% empty. The calculator shows the percentage change and sets the 'larger' or 'smaller' toggle automatically. For example, A = 80 and B = 100 gives +25% larger.

What does the 'larger / smaller' toggle do in Panel 2?

The toggle controls the direction of the change when X% is one of the two inputs. 'Larger' means B = A × (1 + X ÷ 100); 'smaller' means B = A × (1 − X ÷ 100). When A and B are both entered, the toggle sets itself automatically.

Can I use commas as decimal separators?

Yes - both commas and dots are accepted as decimal separators. The calculator normalises them automatically, so 1,5 and 1.5 are treated identically.
