Explanation
The shared calculator template keeps the layout consistent while each tool carries its own formula notes and interpretation guidance.
How the math works
Percent-of mode multiplies the percent by the base value. What-percent mode divides the part by the whole and converts that ratio into a percentage.
When to use the adjustment mode
The increase or decrease mode applies a percentage adjustment to the starting value, which makes it useful for quick pricing, budgeting, or target-setting scenarios.

FAQ
Short answers for the questions people usually have when they sanity-check calculator output.
Use the X% of Y mode when you already know the percentage and the base value. Use the what percent mode when you know the part and the whole.
No. Percentage change compares an old value and a new value. The percentage calculator is for part-to-whole questions and applying a percent to a base value.
If the whole value is 0, the what percent calculation is undefined, so the calculator will ask you for a non-zero whole.
