Reverse Percentage Calculator
The reverse percentage calculator calculates exact solutions to help you work backwards from a percentage increase or decrease to find the original amount.. Solve equations, evaluate mathematical ratios, and convert scientific units.
Find the original amount
Enter the amount after a percentage increase or decrease.
Original amount
100
100 × (100% − 20%) = 80
Example: if £80 is the price after a 20% decrease, the original price was £100 (80 ÷ 0.8).
