Percentage Formulas & Calculations

Understanding the math behind percentages helps you solve any calculation problem. Here are the key formulas we use.

1. Calculate the Percentage of Y (Percentage of Amount)

Result = (Percentage ÷ 100) × Amount

Example: What is 30% of 1150?

(30 ÷ 100) × 1150 = 0.30 × 1150 = 345

Use this for: Discounts, tips, commissions, tax calculations, grade percentages

2. Percentage Increase or Decrease

Change % = ((New Value - Old Value) ÷ Old Value) × 100

Example: If a price went from $100 to $120, what is the percentage increase?

((120 - 100) ÷ 100) × 100 = (20 ÷ 100) × 100 = 20% increase

Use this for: Growth rates, inflation calculations, performance changes, investment returns
