Percentage Calculator — what it does

Three percentage calculations in one place: what X percent of Y is, what percentage X is of Y, and the percentage change between two values. Between them they cover almost every percentage question that comes up in ordinary work, without the wrong-way-round errors that doing it in your head invites.

When this tool helps

  • Working out a tip, a commission or a share of a total.
  • Expressing a result as a percentage of a target for a report.
  • Calculating growth or decline between two periods.

How to use it

  1. Choose the calculation you need.
  2. Enter value X and value Y.
  3. Calculate.
  4. Read the result.

Accuracy, limits, and good practice

  • Percentage change is not symmetric: a fall from 100 to 50 is minus 50 percent, but recovering from 50 to 100 is plus 100 percent.
  • Successive percentages multiply rather than add — up 10 percent then down 10 percent leaves you at 99, not back where you started.
  • Keep percentage points and percent distinct: moving from 20 to 25 percent is five percentage points, and a 25 percent increase.

Frequently asked questions

How do I reverse a percentage increase?

Divide by one plus the rate. A price of 120 after a 20 percent increase started at 100, not at 96.

Which of the three calculations do I want?

"What is X% of Y" for a share, "X is what % of Y" for a proportion, and percentage change for growth between two figures.

Can it handle a decrease?

Yes, percentage change returns a negative value when the second figure is lower than the first.

百分比計算器能做什麼

三種百分比計算集中在一處:Y 的 X% 是多少、X 佔 Y 的百分之幾,以及兩個數值之間的百分比變化。這三種涵蓋了日常工作中幾乎所有的百分比問題,也避開了心算最容易犯的方向錯誤。

什麼時候用得上

  • 計算小費、佣金或某項佔總額的份額。
  • 在報告中把結果表達成目標達成率。
  • 計算兩個期間之間的成長或衰退。

使用步驟

  1. 選擇需要的計算方式。
  2. 輸入數值 X 與數值 Y。
  3. 執行計算。
  4. 查看結果。

精確度、限制與實務建議

  • 百分比變化不對稱:從 100 掉到 50 是 −50%,但從 50 回到 100 是 +100%。
  • 連續百分比是相乘不是相加——先漲 10% 再跌 10%,結果是 99 而不是回到原點。
  • 要區分「百分點」與「百分比」:從 20% 到 25% 是五個百分點,同時也是增加了 25%。

常見問題

怎麼反推漲價前的數字?

除以(1 + 漲幅)。漲 20% 後是 120 的價格,原本是 100,而不是 96。

三種計算我該用哪一個?

算份額用「Y 的 X% 是多少」,算佔比用「X 佔 Y 的百分之幾」,兩數之間的成長用百分比變化。

可以算下降嗎?

可以,第二個數字較低時,百分比變化會回傳負值。
