Faster than pulling up a calculator app when figuring out discounts or analyzing data.

  • Change rate (percentage change from A to B)
  • Ratio (A is what % of B)
  • Reverse calculation (find the original value from the result)
  • Decimal place adjustment

How to Use

  1. Select the calculation type: percentage, change rate, or ratio.
  2. Enter numbers and the result appears in real time.

Tips

  • Discount price: subtract the discount % from the original. e.g., 20% off $50 = $50 - $10 = $40.
  • Negative change rate means decrease, positive means increase. The sign tells you the direction.
  • Works for tip calculations too. Calculate 10-15% of your meal total for the tip amount.

FAQ

What is the difference between change rate and ratio?
Change rate measures how much a value moved from the old to the new amount, while ratio measures what fraction one value is of another. For example, from 80 to 100 the change rate is +25%, and 80 is 80% of 100.
Are decimal results rounded?
By default, results are rounded to two decimal places. Change the precision setting to see more digits.
Can I enter negative numbers?
Yes, negative numbers are supported. The change rate calculation works correctly even when the old or new value is negative.
