The maths behind the click

Three percentage formulas cover most questions.

You do not need to memorise them. But seeing the method makes every answer easier to trust.

01

Find a percentage

What is 15% of 240?

(15 ÷ 100) × 240 = 36

Convert the percentage to a decimal, then multiply it by the number.

02

Find the percent

36 is what percent of 240?

(36 ÷ 240) × 100 = 15%

Divide the part by the whole, then multiply the result by 100.

03

Measure a change

From 200 to 240

((240 − 200) ÷ 200) × 100 = 20%

Use the original number as the baseline for an increase or decrease.

Why Percentage.click?

Because the answer is more useful when you can see why it is right.

A bare number solves the question once. A clear formula helps you understand the relationship between the part, the whole and the percentage—so you can use the same thinking again.

Percentage.click is designed as a fast static site. Calculations happen on the page, the layout stays lightweight and every tool is organised around a specific question rather than a wall of inputs.

Common questions

A few useful percentage shortcuts.

Short answers to the questions people most often ask before reaching for a calculator.

How do I calculate a percentage of a number?

Divide the percentage by 100 and multiply the decimal by the number. For example, 15% of 240 is 0.15 × 240, which equals 36.

How do I find what percentage one number is of another?

Divide the first number by the second, then multiply by 100. If 36 is the part and 240 is the whole, 36 ÷ 240 × 100 equals 15%.

How is percentage change calculated?

Subtract the original value from the new value, divide that difference by the absolute original value, and multiply by 100. A positive answer is an increase; a negative answer is a decrease.

Does Percentage.click store the numbers I enter?

No. The homepage calculator runs in your browser, so the values you enter are not sent away for calculation.
