Three common patterns—pick a mode, enter numbers, and read the result. Nothing leaves your tab.

Percentage modes

?
X% of Y: percentage of a value. X is what % of Y: part-to-whole. % change: from an old value to a new value.

Result: 12

Common use cases

  • Find what percent one value is of another for reporting and quick ratio checks.
  • Compute percent change between two measurements for growth or regression summaries.
  • Take a percentage of a base amount for discounts, tips, or tax estimates before rounding rules.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Mixing up “percent of” and “percent change”

    Part-to-whole uses different math than old-to-new change—pick the mode that matches your question.

  • Rounding too early in multi-step chains

    Keep extra precision internally, then round once for display to avoid drift.
