Understanding the result

  • Percent of: result = (part ÷ whole) × 100. Whole must be non-zero.
  • Percent increase: ((new − old) ÷ old) × 100. Negative results mean decrease.
  • Applying X% to N: result = N × (X/100).
  • Round display decimals for reporting but keep full precision for chained calculations.

FAQ

How do I find percentage increase?

Subtract old from new, divide by old, multiply by 100. Example: 120 from 100 is 20% increase.

What is reverse percentage?

Finding original before tax or tip. If final is 115% of base, base = final ÷ 1.15.

Can percentages exceed 100%?

Yes when the part is larger than the whole (e.g. 150% of a target means 1.5×).

Rounding errors?

Financial apps often round to two decimals. Small differences vs spreadsheets are normal.
