Everyday Calculators

Percentage calculator

Find a percentage of a number, express a part as a percentage, or work out the whole from a known part and percentage.

JavaScript is required to run the interactive tool. Open the tool separately if it does not load in the frame.

How to use it

Choose a calculation and enter the two values shown by the field labels. Use the example below the selector to check which value goes where.

Example

20% of 50 is 10. A part of 20 out of 50 is 40%. If 20 is 40% of the whole, the whole is 50.

Frequently asked question

Which value goes in the first field?

The field labels change with the calculation. To find the whole, enter the known part first and its percentage second.
