Percentage maths comes up constantly — discounts, test scores, salary hikes, GST, tip amounts. But the formula changes depending on what you’re solving for, and it’s easy to mix them up.
The Tools.Town Percentage Calculator handles all three cases from a single page:

Mode 2 — X is what percent of Y? Given two numbers, find out what fraction one is of the other, expressed as a percentage. Useful for scores, ratios, and proportions.
Mode 3 — Percentage change from X to Y Enter an old value and a new value and get the exact percentage increase or decrease. Useful for price changes, growth metrics, and year-on-year comparisons.
All three modes update live as you type — no submit button, no page reload.
