What is a Vote Percentage Calculator?
A Vote Percentage Calculator is a tool that helps you find out what portion of the total votes each candidate received. It takes the number of votes for each candidate and the total number of votes, then calculates the share of votes as a percentage for each candidate. This is a common calculation in school elections, class surveys, and real-world elections.
Understanding Key Terms

How Do I Calculate Vote Percentage? (Example)
The formula for vote percentage is:
Example:
Suppose there are three candidates:
- Candidate A: 120 votes
- Candidate B: 80 votes
- Candidate C: 50 votes
Step 1: Find the total votes:
120 + 80 + 50 = 250
Step 2: Calculate the percentage for each:
- Candidate A: (120/250) ×100 = 48%
- Candidate B: (80/250) ×100 = 32%
- Candidate C: (50/250) ×100 = 20%
So, Candidate A received 48%, Candidate B received 32%, and Candidate C received 20% of the total votes.
