Multiply Y by X and divide by 100. For example, 15% of 200 = 200 × 15 ÷ 100 = 30.

How do I find what percent X is of Y?

Divide X by Y, then multiply by 100. For example, 30 out of 200 = (30 ÷ 200) × 100 = 15%.

How is percentage change calculated?

Subtract the old value from the new value, divide by the old value, then multiply by 100. A positive result is an increase; a negative result is a decrease.

What is the difference between percentage and percentage points?

A percentage expresses a fraction of a whole (e.g. 40%). A percentage point is the arithmetic difference between two percentages — going from 30% to 40% is a 10 percentage-point increase but a 33.3% relative increase.

Can I calculate a negative percentage change?

Yes. If the new value is smaller than the old value the result will be negative, indicating a decrease. For example, going from 80 to 60 is a −25% change.
