Frequently Asked Questions
What percentage calculators are available?
We offer three different percentage calculators:
1. Find % of Number - Calculate what a specific percentage of a number equals. For example, find what 15% of 200 is.
2. Number as % - Calculate what percentage one number is of another. For example, find what percentage 50 is of 200.
3. % Increase/Decrease - Calculate the percentage change between two values. For example, find the percentage increase from 100 to 150.
What's the difference between percentage points and percentages?
A percentage point is the arithmetic difference between two percentages. For example, moving from 40% to 50% is a 10 percentage point increase, but a 25% relative increase (10/40 = 0.25 or 25%).
Examples:
• If an interest rate rises from 2% to 3%, that's a 1 percentage point increase, but a 50% relative increase.
• If a tax rate decreases from 25% to 20%, that's a 5 percentage point decrease, but a 20% relative decrease.
This distinction is important in finance, economics, and statistics to avoid misinterpretation of data.
How accurate are the percentage calculations?
