Tips
For a discount, the result is the amount you save. Subtract it from the original price to get what you actually pay.
To find a percentage increase, calculate the percentage and add it to the original value rather than expecting the tool to do both steps.
Prices in shops often include rounding rules or taxes this calculator knows nothing about, so a till total may differ slightly.
For loan repayments rather than simple percentages, the EMI calculator handles compounding over a term.

The arithmetic is exact for the numbers you enter and the answer is displayed to two decimal places.
Should I rely on this for financial decisions?
It is reliable for quick arithmetic, but check any figure that carries real consequences, since taxes, fees and rounding are not included.
