Which calculator should I use?

Margin and markup are not the same

Profit margin is profit divided by the selling price. Markup is profit divided by the cost. A product that costs $50 and sells for $100 has a markup of 100% but a margin of 50%. Mixing them up is a common pricing mistake.

For percent change, subtract the old value from the new value, divide by the old value, then multiply by 100. The percentage increase calculator does that for you.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate a percentage of a number?

Multiply the number by the percentage and divide by 100. For example, 15% of 80 is 12. The percentage calculator also handles increases and decreases.

How much should I tip?

Customs vary by country and place, so use the tip calculator to try different percentages and split the total between people.
