What percentage calculations does this tool support?
It covers finding what percent one number is of another, finding X% of a number, calculating the percentage increase or decrease between two numbers, and increasing or decreasing a number by a given percentage.
How is percentage increase or decrease calculated?
It uses the formula ((new value − old value) ÷ old value) × 100. A positive result means an increase, a negative result means a decrease.
Can I use decimals or negative numbers?
Yes, all fields accept decimal values, and negative numbers are supported wherever mathematically valid; dividing by zero shows a clear error instead of an incorrect result.
