Methodology & sources

Every formula on this page is verified against the authoritative publications listed below. Assumptions describe the boundaries of the estimate.

Formulas

  • X% of N = (X ÷ 100) × N
  • A is what % of B = (A ÷ B) × 100
  • % change from A to B = ((B − A) ÷ A) × 100
  • % difference = |A − B| ÷ ((A + B) ÷ 2) × 100

Assumptions

  • Undefined when the reference value is zero (division by zero).
  • Percent change is directional; percent difference is symmetric.
