A percent is just a part of 100.
15% means 0.15. Multiply it by 240 and you get 36. The same idea works for discounts, tips and test scores.
✳ YOUR EVERYDAY MATH COMPANION
From a quick percentage to your next “aha” moment.
A little less figuring out. A lot more understanding.
Pick an example. Make it your own.
A space for working things out. Results use floating-point arithmetic; check critical calculations independently. Good to know ↗
A TOOL FOR THE TASK
Give your problem the right starting point.
Simple inputs, useful answers.
Type an expression, ask a percentage question or choose a focused tool.
Check the result and its notes. Adjust your numbers and explore what changes.
Copy the answer or revisit a calculation in your local notebook history.
UNDERSTAND THE WHY
Small examples. Ideas that stick.
15% means 0.15. Multiply it by 240 and you get 36. The same idea works for discounts, tips and test scores.
Without parentheses, multiplication comes first. With them, you decide which part gets worked out before the rest.
Degrees and radians describe angles differently. Select DEG for sin(30°), or RAD for sin(pi/6). Both give one half.
GOOD TO KNOW
No fine-print math.
Here are the essentials.
No. The calculators run in your browser and are free to use. No registration or subscription is required.
Use +, −, *, /, parentheses, powers such as 2^8, and functions such as sqrt(16), sin(30) or log(100). Use * for multiplication, including 2*pi. Percent means “divide by 100”; 200+10% is 200.1, not a 10% increase.
No. Local rules recognize percentage changes, interest, equations, fractions and named tools. Missing values open a guided form; ambiguous questions offer a choice. Try “Learn percentage increase” for reading. It is not a general language model.
Your last 20 calculations are saved in this browser’s local storage. Clear them using History → Clear all. Private browsing or disabled storage may prevent them from being saved.
Use DEG when the angle is in degrees, and RAD when it is in radians. For example, sin(90) in DEG and sin(pi/2) in RAD both return 1. The angle setting is stored with each scientific calculation.
Calculations use standard JavaScript floating-point numbers. Displayed answers are rounded to 12 significant digits. This is a learning and planning tool, not a substitute for high-precision engineering tools or professional financial advice.
