What is a percentage of a number?
A percentage is a share of something, counted out of a hundred. So 20% of 60 is 12, because 20 out of every 100 of 60 comes to 12.
Put the percentage in the first box and the amount in the second, and the answer appears as you type. There is no button to press.
Percent calculator money uses: deposits, commissions and savings
Most often for money. How much a deposit comes to, what a commission works out at, or how much a sale is actually saving you before you decide whether it is worth it.
It works for anything counted, not only money — a share of a total, a portion of a group, or part of a measurement.
Common questions
How do I work out a percentage of a number?
Put the percentage in the first box and the number in the second. For example, 20 and 60 gives 12.
If you would rather do it yourself: divide the percentage by 100, then multiply by the number.
What is 20% of 60?
12. Twenty out of every hundred of sixty comes to twelve.
How much percent of number 60 is 12?
Twenty percent. But this calculator answers the question the other way round — you give it the percentage and the number, and it gives you the amount.
To go from two numbers to a percentage instead, use the score percentage calculator, which turns 12 out of 60 into 20%.
Can I use this percent calculator for money?
Yes. It is the same sum whether you are working out a deposit, a commission, a service charge or how much a discount saves you.
If you want the price after a discount rather than the saving itself, use the discount calculator instead.
I want it the other way round — what percent is 45 out of 60?
That is a different sum, and there is a separate calculator for it. Use the score percentage calculator, which turns something like 45 out of 60 into 75%.
Can I use a percentage with a decimal, like 7.5%?
Yes. Decimals work in both boxes, so 7.5% of 240 gives 18.
