How it works
How to use it
- Choose what you want to work out: X% of a value, what share one number is of another, or the change between two values.
- Enter the two numbers the way you usually write them, with a point for decimals.
- The result appears instantly. For changes, the sign shows whether it is an increase (+) or a decrease (−).
How it is calculated
One percent is one hundredth: 15% is 0.15. X% of Y is X ÷ 100 × Y; the share of X in Y is X ÷ Y × 100; the change from X to Y is always divided by the starting value.
Change = (Y − X) ÷ |X| × 100

About this calculator
The three calculations
X% of Y: discounts, VAT, commissions. 25% of NOK 450 is NOK 112.50.
Share of X in Y: 45 correct answers out of 60 is 75%.
Change from X to Y: from NOK 80 to NOK 92 is +15%. You always divide by the starting value.
A common mistake
Two 20% discounts in a row don’t make 40% but 36%: successive percentages multiply, they don’t add up.
Frequently asked questions
How do you work out X% of a value?
Divide the percentage by 100 and multiply by the value: 15% of 200 is 15 ÷ 100 × 200 = 30.
