Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right calculation type?

Use the visual flowchart at the top of the calculator to determine which calculation best fits your needs. The tool is divided into categories:

  • Basic (X% of Y, X is what % of Y)
  • Change Analysis (% increase/decrease)
  • Financial (discounts, tips, taxes)
  • Academic (grade improvements, error margins)
  • Specialized (compound growth, ratio to percentage)

How does the currency converter work in the Discount Calculator?

  1. Select the original currency (e.g., USD, EUR) for the price
  2. Enter the discount percentage
  3. Choose the target currency for conversion
  4. The calculator applies the discount and converts the final price

Note: Exchange rates are simulated for demonstration. For real-time rates, an API would be needed.

Can I calculate compound percentage growth?

Yes! Under Specialized Calculations, enter:

  • Initial Value (e.g., investment amount)
  • % Change per period (e.g., annual interest rate)
  • Number of periods (e.g., years)

The tool will compute the final value and total percentage change.

How is grade improvement calculated?

Enter your old score, new score, and max possible score. The calculator shows:

  • Percentage improvement (e.g., 70% → 85%)
  • Points gained (e.g., +15 points)

What does "Error Margin" mean?

This calculates how much a measured value deviates from the actual value in percentage terms:

[(Measured - Actual) / Actual] × 100

Useful for lab experiments, data validation, and quality control.

What's the difference between % Increase and Compound % Change?

  • % Increase – Measures a single change (e.g., price rose from $50 to $75)
  • Compound % Change – Calculates growth over multiple periods (e.g., investment growing 5% annually for 3 years)
