Percentage Calculator

Percentages are a part of daily life. From calculating a tip at a restaurant to figuring out how much you'll save during a holiday sale, our Percentage Calculator does the heavy lifting for you.

Practical Examples

Shopping Discounts

If you see a $150 jacket on sale for 20% off:

1. Enter 20 as the percentage and 150 as the base value.
2. The "X% of Y" result ($30) is your total savings.
3. The "Y minus X%" result ($120) is your final sale price.

Tipping at a Restaurant

If your bill is $85 and you want to leave an 18% tip:

1. Enter 18 as the percentage and 85 as the base value.
2. The "X% of Y" result ($15.30) is the tip amount.
3. The "Y plus X%" result ($100.30) is the total amount you will pay.

Sales Tax

If you are buying a $1,200 laptop and the local sales tax is 7.5%:

1. Enter 7.5 as the percentage and 1200 as the base value.
2. The "Y plus X%" result ($1,290) is your final out-the-door cost.
