How to Calculate Percentages: A Complete Guide

Three different questions all get called calculating a percentage. Here is how to tell them apart, and where the answers go quietly…

Compare a measured or estimated value against the accepted true value, and express how far off it was as a percentage.

Work out a percentage of a number, what percentage one number is of another, or the percentage change between two values.

Find the percentage drop between two values, take a percentage off a number, or work backwards to the price before a discount.

Compare two values where neither is a baseline. Divides by their average, so the answer is the same whichever order you enter…

Find the percentage increase between two values, or apply an increase to a number to see what it becomes.
