What to know before using this tool
Percent means “per hundred.” For example, 20% of 150 is 30 because 20/100 × 150 = 30. When asking what percent A is of B, the calculation is A/B × 100. Percentage change compares the difference with the magnitude of the starting value.
Be careful when the starting or comparison value is zero because some percentage formulas require division by that number and therefore are undefined. The tool displays an error for those cases instead of returning a misleading infinite result.
