Frequently asked questions

Multiply the number by the percent divided by 100. For 20% of 80: (20 / 100) x 80 = 16. The percentage calculator handles this and the reverse questions.
What is the difference between percentage increase and decrease?
Both compare a change to the original value. Increase is used when the value goes up, decrease when it goes down; each has its own calculator here.
How do I convert between fractions and percentages?
Use the fraction to percent calculator (divide and multiply by 100) or the percent to fraction calculator (write over 100 and simplify).
