How to Calculate Percentage of a Number?

Basic Percentage Calculation Methods:

Finding X% of Y: Multiply the number (Y) by the percentage (X) divided by 100. Formula: (X/100) × Y
Finding what percentage X is of Y: Divide X by Y and multiply by 100. Formula: (X/Y) × 100%
Finding percentage change: Subtract the initial value from the final value, divide by the initial value, and multiply by 100. Formula: [(Final – Initial) ÷ Initial] × 100%
Calculating discount: Multiply the original price by the discount percentage divided by 100, then subtract from the original price. Formula: Original Price – (Original Price × Discount%/100)
Calculating tax: Multiply the price by the tax rate divided by 100, then add to the original price. Formula: Price + (Price × Tax%/100)

Frequently Asked Questions

To calculate X% of Y, multiply Y by X/100. For example, to find 15% of 200, calculate: 200 × (15/100) = 200 × 0.15 = 30. You can use our “Percentage of Number” calculator for this calculation – simply enter 15 in the percentage field and 200 in the value field to get the result: 30.

To find what percentage X is of Y, divide X by Y and multiply by 100. For example, to find what percentage 30 is of 150, calculate: (30/150) × 100 = 0.2 × 100 = 20%. Use our “Basic Calculator” and look at the middle calculation section, entering 30 in the top field and 150 in the bottom field.

To calculate percentage change, subtract the initial value from the final value, divide by the initial value, and multiply by 100. For example, if a price changes from ₹100 to ₹125, the percentage increase is: [(125 – 100) ÷ 100] × 100% = (25 ÷ 100) × 100% = 0.25 × 100% = 25% increase. Use our “Increase/Decrease Calculator” for easy calculation of percentage changes.

Our discount calculator takes the original price and discount percentage as inputs. It calculates the amount saved by multiplying the original price by the discount percentage divided by 100. It then subtracts this value from the original price to get the final price. For example, a 20% discount on an item costing ₹500 would save ₹100 (500 × 0.2), resulting in a final price of ₹400.

Yes, you can use our Tax Calculator to calculate GST amounts. Simply enter the price before tax and the applicable GST rate (e.g., 5%, 12%, 18%, or 28% depending on the product or service category in India). The calculator will show both the tax amount and the total price including GST.

Enter the bill amount, your desired tip percentage, and the number of people sharing the bill. The calculator will show you the total tip amount, the total bill (including tip), the tip amount per person, and the total amount each person should pay. This makes it easy to split bills fairly at restaurants or for group expenses.
