Frequently Asked Questions

How is the percentage computed?

(In / Attempted) × 100. The result tells you what fraction of the Attempted the In represents. For inverse questions ("what's X% of Y?"), swap the inputs accordingly.

What if my percentage is over 100%?

Means In exceeds Attempted. Common in growth calculations (sales doubled → 200%) or ratios where the "part" can legitimately exceed the "base." If unexpected, double-check your inputs.

Should I round the result?

For reporting: round to 1 decimal place (e.g., "23.4%"). For internal calculations: keep full precision. Conversion rates and engagement metrics conventionally show 2 decimals (e.g., "3.42% CTR").

What's a meaningful percentage in my context?

Depends on the metric. Conversion rate: 1–5% typical for SaaS landing pages. Engagement rate: 3–6% for mid-tier influencers. Tax rate: federal effective is 12–22% for most middle-class earners. Compare to industry benchmarks to interpret your number.
