Percentage Calculator — Calculate Percentages Instantly

A simple method invented by a university student with a tomato-shaped kitchen timer has become one of the most effective productivity techniques in the world.

Percentages are everywhere — discounts, tax rates, exam scores, investment returns. ToolKnit's Percentage Calculator gives you three essential calculators in one clean interface.

Three Modes

1. What Is X% of Y?

The classic percentage calculation. Enter a percentage and a number to get the result. For example: What is 15% of 200? Answer: 30.

2. Percentage Change

Enter an original value and a new value to see the percentage increase or decrease. The result is color-coded: green for increase, red for decrease.

Formula: ((New - Old) / |Old|) × 100

3. X Is What % of Y?

Find out what percentage one number represents of another. For example: 25 is what % of 200? Answer: 12.5%.

Real-Time Results

All three calculators update as you type. No buttons to click, no waiting. Results are formatted with up to 6 decimal places and locale-aware number separators for clarity.
