Common Percentage Examples

Quick reference for everyday percentage calculations

Calculation Formula Result
20% of 500 (20 × 500) / 100 100
50 is what % of 200 (50 / 200) × 100 25%
Increase from 100 to 125 [(125−100)/100] × 100 +25%
Decrease from 200 to 150 [(150−200)/200] × 100 −25%
15% of 1,200 (15 × 1200) / 100 180

Percentage change and percentage points are not the same thing — a change from 40% to 50% is a 10 point increase but a 25% relative increase.
