How to Use This Calculator

Percentage Change

  • Enter Original Value and New Value.
  • Click Calculate to see the percentage increase or decrease.

Part-to-Total Percentage

  • Provide the Total and the Part.
  • The output shows what percent the part represents of the whole.

Reverse Percentage

  • Input the New Value and the Rate (%).
  • Calculator returns the Original Value before the change.

Special Notes

  • Original zero yields undefined percentage change.
  • Negative values supported—interpret signs for direction.
  • Results auto-round based on your decimal precision settings.

Percentage Calculator Description

Understanding Percentages

  • A percentage is a ratio expressed per hundred.
  • Commonly used to convey proportions and relative changes.

Core Formulas

Percentage Change (%) = ((New - Original) / Original) × 100
Part-to-Total (%) = (Part / Total) × 100
Original Value Before Change = New / (1 + (Rate / 100))

Mini Case Studies

  1. Stock Price Movement: Share price rises from $50 to $58.25 yields ((58.25-50)/50)×100 = 16.5%.
  2. Solution Concentration: 2 g solute in 50 g total gives (2/50)×100 = 4% concentration.

Edge-Case Considerations

  • Original Zero Value: Division by zero makes percentage change undefined.
  • Negative Inputs: Supports negatives; results indicate direction and magnitude.
  • Over-100% Decrease: A drop from 100 to -50 yields -150%, indicating overshoot past zero.
  • Precision Limits: Very small or precise values may require rounding to mitigate floating-point errors.
  • Reverse Calculations: Use the inverse formula to recover original values before change.

Frequently Asked Questions

A percentage represents a ratio per hundred, showing how one quantity relates to another.

Subtract original from new value, divide by original, then multiply by 100.

Percentage change is undefined when the original value is zero (division by zero).

Yes. Negative results indicate decreases or negative bases in your data.

Use Original = New / (1 + Rate/100) to find the starting value.

Adjust decimal places to balance readability and accuracy, especially for very small changes.

Use the formula =(New−Original)/Original*100 in a cell and format the result as a percentage.
