Percent to Decimal Conversion

Type a percent into the single number field and press Convert: the tool divides it by 100 and shows the decimal in a card below the button. The arithmetic is exact.

Converting a percent to a decimal

To change a percent into a decimal, divide the percent by 100. The tool gives you one number field for that: enter the percent, press Convert, and the decimal appears in a card below the button. Nothing is worked out until you press it.

The arithmetic is exact. When you are done, Copy writes the result and its unit to the clipboard, and Clear resets the form so you can enter another percent.

Percent to decimal formula

decimal = percent ÷ 100

In words: the decimal equals the percent divided by 100. Taking a row from the table, 25% divided by 100 gives 0.25, and 75% divided by 100 gives 0.75.

The same rule covers every percent you type in. The table pairs 1% with 0.01, 12.5% with 0.125, and 150% with 1.5, each one the result of dividing by 100.

Reading the conversion table

The table below lists a percent in the left column and its decimal in the right column. The pair 10% and 0.1, the pair 50% and 0.5, and the pair 100% and 1 sit side by side, so you can look a value up instead of working it out.
