Percentage Calculation Formulas

Basic Percentage Formula
\[\% = \frac{T_2}{T_1} \times 100\] Basic percentage calculation
Seconds Base
\[\% = \frac{T_{2,\text{sec}}}{T_{1,\text{sec}}} \times 100\] Calculation in seconds base
Time to Seconds
\[T_{\text{sec}} = s + 60m + 3600h + 86400d\] Conversion to seconds
Ratio Formula
\[R = \frac{T_2}{T_1}\] Ratio without percentage
Inverse
\[T_2 = T_1 \times \frac{\%}{100}\] Calculate time from percentage
Efficiency Formula
\[E = \frac{T_{\text{actual}}}{T_{\text{target}}} \times 100\] Efficiency calculation

Detailed Calculation Example

Example: Percentage of 1d 2:15:20 relative to 2d 8:30:00

Input times:

  • Base time: 2d 8:30:00 (100%)
  • Comparison time: 1d 2:15:20
  • Calculation: (Comparison ÷ Base) × 100

Conversion to seconds:

  • Base: 2×86400 + 8×3600 + 30×60 = 203,400 sec
  • Comparison: 1×86400 + 2×3600 + 15×60 + 20 = 94,520 sec
  • Ratio: 94,520 ÷ 203,400 = 0.4646

Percentage calculation:

Formula: (94,520 ÷ 203,400) × 100 = 46.46%

Interpretation: The comparison time equals 46.46% of the base time

Reverse: The base time is 215.24% of the comparison time

Difference: The comparison time is 53.54% shorter than the base time

Application: Ideal for efficiency analyses, working time comparisons and progress measurements.

  • = 100%: Both times are identical
  • > 100%: Comparison time is longer than base time
  • 200%: Comparison time is twice as long

Mathematical Properties

Percentage Properties
  • Ratio-based: Relative relationship between values
  • Scale-invariant: Independent of absolute sizes
  • Transitivity: Combinable percentage operations
  • Reversibility: Bidirectional calculations
Working with Percentages
  • Multiplication: % × Value ÷ 100
  • Addition: Percentage points vs. relative percentages
  • Subtraction: Difference vs. percentage change
  • Chaining: Multiple percentage operations
Special relationships

Inversion:
If A = 50% of B, then B = 200% of A

Complementarity:
If A = 30% of B, then difference = 70%

Comparison Examples

Various ratio scenarios

Working time comparison:

6h vs. 8h = 75%

Part-time to full-time

Overtime:

10h vs. 8h = 125%

Extended working time

Efficiency improvement:

6h vs. 8h = 75%

Faster processing

Interpretation aids:
  • < 50%: Less than half of the reference time
  • ≈ 100%: About the same duration
  • > 200%: More than twice as long
  • Efficiency: Lower % = higher efficiency (less time)
