Three calculations, one interface
90% of everyday percentage problems fall into three categories: applying a percentage (variation), finding a share (proportion), or measuring an evolution between two values. This calculator covers all three, with a twist: every field is editable, not just the "result". Change any box and the others recompute.
VAT & net/gross price
Enter 100 net and 20%, you get 120 gross. Enter 120 gross and 20%, you recover 100 net. Same field, two calculation directions.
Discounts & sales
"-30% on a $79 item" → $55.30. You can also recover the original price from the sale price.
Evolution & margin
From 80 to 100 = +25%. Track revenue, grade, stock or weight progress.
The 3 formulas to remember
The multiplier coefficient — your pro shortcut
A 20% increase = × 1.2. A 30% decrease = × 0.7. Learning these coefficients lets you compute any variation in your head. The tool displays it under every result to help you internalize it.
FAQ
How do I calculate a gross price from a net price?
"Variation" tab, tick "Add (VAT, Margin)", enter your net price in field 1 and the VAT rate (20%, 10%, 5.5%...) in field 2. The gross price appears in field 3. You can also do the reverse: enter the gross and the rate, the tool gives you the net.
How do I recover the price before a discount?
"Variation" tab, tick "Discount (Sales)", enter the discounted price in field 3 and the discount percentage in field 2. Field 1 shows the original price.
What's the difference between "variation" and "evolution"?
Variation applies a known percentage to a value (e.g. +20% on 100). Evolution measures the percentage between two given values (e.g. from 80 to 100 = +25%). It's the same math taken from the other angle.
What is the multiplier coefficient?
It's the number you directly multiply the initial value by to get the final value. +20% = × 1.2; −30% = × 0.7. It skips the full formula and speeds up mental math.
