1. What is Percentage Deduction?

Percentage deduction is a mathematical calculation that determines a portion of an amount based on a specified percentage. It's commonly used in finance, discounts, taxes, and various business calculations.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the percentage deduction formula:

Where:

• \( Amount \) — The original amount (in currency)
• \( Percentage \) — The percentage to be deducted (0-100)

Explanation: The formula calculates what portion of the original amount corresponds to the given percentage.

3. Practical Applications

Q3: What's the difference between percentage off and percentage of?
A: This calculator finds "percentage of" an amount. For "percentage off," you'd subtract the result from the original amount.

Q4: Can I use this for multiple percentage deductions?
