How it works

Each operation applies its own formula. For example, “X% of Y” is X ÷ 100 × Y, and “percentage increase” is (B − A) ÷ A × 100. Zero denominators are guarded and shown as “—”.

Example calculation

  • 15% of 200 = 30.00
  • Increase from 100 to 120 = 20.00%

Important notes

  • Percentages can exceed 100% (for example, 200 is 400% of 50).
  • Results are rounded to two decimal places for display.
