How to Use Percentage Calculator

The Percentage Calculator handles every percentage calculation you need. Choose a calculation mode: 'What is X% of Y?', 'X is what % of Y?', 'Percentage change from X to Y', or custom. Enter your values and the result appears instantly. For example, to find 15% of 200, select the first mode, enter 15 and 200 — the answer (30) displays immediately. The tool also includes dedicated modes for tips (enter bill amount and tip percentage), discounts (original price and discount %), and markup calculations. Results show both the percentage value and the formula used.
