Featured in Best iPad Apps magazine
"This very easy to use calculator enables you to work out percentages in any given context almost instantly. A simple app that does what the name suggests very well indeed."

Whilst percentage formulas are not necessarily complicated, they can quite often take some working out. If you deal with percentages in any way then this app will make your life easier.

Percentages is a universal app working on both the iPhone and iPad.

Percentages now comes with EIGHT percentage tools:

1. Find the percent of a number
Use this option to find the percentage of a value. For example, what is 17.5% of 199.99? Answer is 35

2. Find the percent of a part value
For example, what percentage is 55 of 200? Answer = 27.50%

3. Find the percentage change from one value to another
For example, If an item originally cost 19.99 and now costs 17.99, by what percent has the price changed? Answer = 10.01%

4. Calculate the value that y% is of value x
For example, 245 if 15% of what value? Answer = 1633.33

5. Increase a number by a percentage
For example, what is 239 + 7%? Answer = 255.73

6. Decrease a number by a percentage
For example, what is 47.00 less 15%? Answer = 39.95

7. Calculate the original value after a percentage was deducted
For example, If you have an item that costs 140.00 and this was after a 30% deduction, what was the original price before the deduction? Answer = 200.00

8. Calculate the original value after a percentage was added
For example, If an item costs 19.99 including tax at 17.5%, what does the item cost excluding tax? Answer = 17.01

Its nice to have this app at my fingertips. I sent an email to support regarding what I initially thought was an issue. I had a response in less than 12 hours. Good thing too, it was not the app, it was me interpreting the functionality incorrectly.
Love this app. The "explanation of the answer" section helps make sure you have used the correct calculation.
I am on outside sales and I am always trying to calculate various dollars and percentage amounts. This app does it all and is easy to use. Get it you will love it!!!

Some bad moments

I just bought this silly little app. Its ok but doesnt have what I need for my biss. I want to be able to calculate backwards, for example. I sell something and I want to mark it up 30%, I divide my cost by 70 and I hit the percent symbol, that will give me my 30%. Now I want to be able to later on look at any product that I sold and apply a formula to that cost and tell me how much I made on that product by using the percent I use to mark up the item I sold.
No matter how you turn the device or change the apps settings, the app will not turn to landscape mode. Please fix!!!
