Preguntas frecuentes

What percentage calculations does this tool support?
Three modes: (1) What is X% of Y — for discounts, tips, and taxes; (2) X is what percent of Y — for grades and proportions; (3) Percentage change from X to Y — for financial changes and growth rates.
How do I calculate a discount price?
Use 'What is X% of Y' mode. Enter the discount percentage and the original price. Subtract the result from the original price to get the sale price. For example, 25% of $80 = $20, so the sale price is $60.
What is the difference between percent and percentage points?
Percent is a relative measure; percentage points are an absolute difference. If a rate goes from 5% to 8%, the increase is 3 percentage points but a 60% relative increase. Confusing the two is one of the most common errors in financial reporting.
Is my data safe?
Yes. All processing happens entirely in your browser. Your data never leaves your device and is never uploaded to any server.

Consejos y buenas prácticas

  • 💡To reverse a discount and find the original price, divide the sale price by (1 minus the discount rate). For example, $72 after a 10% discount means the original was $72 / 0.90 = $80.
  • 💡When comparing two percentages, always clarify whether you mean the absolute difference (percentage points) or the relative change (percent change). The distinction matters enormously in finance.
  • 💡Use the percentage-change mode to quickly check if a product's 'was / now' pricing adds up — enter the old and new prices to see the real discount percentage.
