Percentage Calculator — Complete Guide & Instructions
MakeCard Percentage Calculator packs the four percentage questions people actually ask into a single screen. Compute “what is X% of Y”, “X is what percent of Y”, “percentage increase or decrease between two values”, and “exam marks to percentage” — complete with a grade letter and pass/fail badge. Every result updates live as you type, and each card shows the exact formula used so you can verify the math yourself.
How to Use Percentage Calculator
- 1 Card 1 — enter a percentage and a value to answer “What is X% of Y?”
- 2 Card 2 — enter two numbers to find “X is what percent of Y?”
- 3 Card 3 — enter the old and new values to see the percentage increase or decrease.
- 4 Card 4 — type marks obtained and total marks to get the percentage, grade, and pass/fail badge.
- 5 Read the formula shown beside each result to double-check the working.
Key Features & Capabilities

- Live results — every answer updates as you type, no calculate button needed.
- Exam card returns a letter grade plus a Passed/Failed badge.
- Increase/decrease card shows both the percent change and the absolute difference.

Practical Everyday Use Cases
- Working out the sale price when a store advertises “30% off”.
- Converting board-exam marks into a percentage for college applications.
- Checking the year-on-year growth of your salary or savings.
- Calculating GST or tip percentages on a bill quickly.
- Comparing two prices or scores as a percentage difference.
Pro Tips for Best Results
- For discount math, “final price = original − (X% of original)” — card 1 gives the discount amount, subtract it yourself.
- A percentage increase from 50 to 100 is +100%, but the drop back from 100 to 50 is −50% — percent change is always measured from the first value.
- On the exam card, make sure “Total Marks” is the maximum possible, not the sum of all subjects unless you want the aggregate percentage.
- Card 2 is the fastest way to answer “what percent is 45 of 60” — it returns 75%.
Common Problems & Solutions
A required field is empty or zero — fill in both numbers, and remember the “of Y” value cannot be 0 in the divide-based cards.
Check you put the starting value first and the ending value second — reversing them flips an increase into a decrease.
Ensure you entered total possible marks, not marks in one subject. For multi-subject totals, add them up first.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about using Percentage Calculator
Enter marks obtained and total marks in card 4 — the tool returns the percentage, a letter grade, and a pass/fail badge automatically.
Use card 2: enter the part and the whole. For example, 45 out of 60 returns 75%.
(New − Old) / Old × 100. Card 3 applies this for you and also shows the absolute difference between the two values.
Type the discount percent and the original price in card 1 to get the discount amount; subtract it from the price for the final payable amount.
Because percent change is always relative to the starting value — going 50→100 is +100%, while 100→50 is only −50%.
