Free Percentage Calculator Widget
Three everyday percentage calculators in one clean embeddable widget.
A simple percentage calculator your visitors can use for the three most common questions: what is X% of Y, X is what percent of Y, and the percent change from one value to another. It switches modes with tabs and updates live as they type — no page reloads, no backend. Install it with a single script tag — no dependencies, no accounts.
Embed this widget
Paste either snippet into your page — a Custom HTML block on WordPress, Shopify, or Squarespace works too. Both snippets update live as you customize, so what you copy is exactly what you configured.

</script>Configuration
Every option is an attribute on the script tag — the same attributes the customizer above exposes. All attributes are optional unless marked required — defaults apply when omitted.
| Attribute | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
data-hl-accent | "#f97316" | Highlight color for the result, active tab, and focus states. |
Frequently asked questions
How do I install the Percentage Calculator?
Paste the script snippet where you want the calculator to appear — it renders inline right after the tag with all three modes (X% of Y, X is what % of Y, and % change) ready to use.
Can I change the colors?
Yes — set data-hl-accent to any hex color to change the result value, active tab, and focus outlines. Everything else uses a neutral palette that fits any light site.
Does it work on WordPress, Shopify, or Squarespace?
Yes — it is a single vanilla JS file with no dependencies, so it works on WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, or any site that can embed a script tag.
