Frequently asked questions

03 / FAQ
Which calculation do I pick?

Use “X% of Y” for a slice of a total, “X is what % of Y” to compare two amounts, and increase/decrease to apply a percent change.

Why does the result have many decimals?

Percent math often lands on long decimals. Round the answer for everyday use.

What if I divide by zero?

The “X is what % of Y” mode needs a non-zero whole; entering 0 there gives no result.

Can it handle negative numbers?

Yes. Negative values and percentages are accepted and the arithmetic follows through.
