Percentage Formulas — All Cases

1. Percentage of a number:
   X% of N = (X / 100) × N
   Example: 18% of 350 = 63

2. What % is X of Y:
   % = (X / Y) × 100
   Example: 45 of 180 = 25%

3. Percentage increase:
   % change = ((New − Old) / Old) × 100
   Example: 80 → 96 = +20%

4. Add percentage (e.g. VAT, markup):
   Result = N × (1 + % / 100)
   Example: 100 + 22% = 122

5. Remove percentage (e.g. extract VAT):
   Net = Total / (1 + % / 100)
   Example: 122 / 1.22 = 100

6. Reverse percentage (what was the original?):
   Original = Result / (1 − discount % / 100)
   Example: 80 after 20% discount → 80 / 0.80 = 100

Practical Examples

Restaurant VAT (Italy)

Menu price €13 + 10% IVA (reduced rate for restaurants in Italy)

€13 × 1.10 = €14.30 gross

Food cost check

Ingredients cost €3.20, selling price €12.00

(3.20 / 12.00) × 100 = 26.7% food cost

Salary increase

Salary €1,800 with 4% ISTAT-based increase

€1,800 × 1.04 = €1,872/month

Discount

Product €45.00 with 15% bulk discount

€45 × 0.85 = €38.25

Direct answers

How do I calculate a percentage of a number?
Percentage of a number: (percentage / 100) × number. Example: 15% of 200 = (15/100) × 200 = 30. Or equivalently: 200 × 0.15 = 30.
How do I calculate what percentage X is of Y?
Percentage = (X / Y) × 100. Example: 45 is what % of 180? = (45/180) × 100 = 25%.
How do I calculate percentage increase?
Percentage increase = ((New Value − Old Value) / Old Value) × 100. Example: price went from €80 to €96. Increase = ((96−80)/80) × 100 = 20%.
How do I add VAT (IVA) to a price?
Price with VAT = net price × (1 + VAT % / 100). Example: €50 net + 22% Italian IVA = €50 × 1.22 = €61. To remove VAT: net = price with VAT / (1 + VAT%/100) = €61 / 1.22 = €50.
How do I calculate a tip percentage?
Tip amount = bill × (tip % / 100). Example: 10% tip on a €48 restaurant bill = €48 × 0.10 = €4.80. Total with tip = €52.80.
How do I calculate markup percentage?
Markup % = ((Selling price − Cost) / Cost) × 100. Example: buy at €40, sell at €60. Markup = ((60−40)/40) × 100 = 50%. Note: markup % is different from margin % (which divides by selling price, not cost).
