A LITTLE CONTEXT

How it works

Calculate the original number plus a percentage of that same number. Enter a negative rate to reverse the direction.

THE FORMULAFinal value = original × (1 + percentage ÷ 100)

For example 200 increased by 15% = 230.

Results display up to 12 significant digits. JavaScript floating-point arithmetic approximates some decimals and large integers. Round monetary results to your currency’s precision.

Good questions. Simple answers.

Is adding 20% the same as adding 20?

Only when the starting value is 100. Increasing 350 by 20% adds 70, giving 420.

Can I use negative numbers?

Yes. The formula applies literally: increasing −100 by 10% gives −110. A negative rate subtracts a percentage instead.
