{{percentage|numerator|denominator|decimals to round to (zero or greater)}}
Figures smaller than 0.0001% are shown in scientific notation.
{{Percentage |1|3| 0 }} yields 33%{{Percentage |1|3|2}} yields 33.33%Negative values can be used:
{{Percentage | -1 |3}} yields -33%Normal operation is to cut off all decimal zeroes from right in rounding:
{{Percentage |1|5|2}} yields 20%{{Percentage | 1111 | 10000 |4}} yields 11.11%
Add |pad=yes to always get as many decimals as specified, padding with zeroes where needed:
{{Percentage |1|5|2| pad=yes }} yields 20.00%{{Percentage | 1111 | 10000 |4| pad=yes }} yields 11.1100%
Third parameter can also be given through |pad=N:
{{Percentage | 111 | 1000 | pad=4}} is same as {{Percentage | 111 | 1000 |4| pad=yes }} and yields 11.1000%Default denominator is 100:
{{Percentage |20}} yields 20%Default precision is zero:
{{Percentage |1|3}} yields 33%Override the percent symbol
{{Percentage |1|3| % = percent}} yields 33 percentUse a prescribed number of significant figures
{{Percentage |1| 4000 | sigfig =3}} yields 0.0250%Use a prescribed number of significant figures with small percentages
{{Percentage |1| 40000000 | sigfig =3}} yields 00%Use a prescribed number of significant figures with small percentages without scientific notation
{{Percentage |1| 40000000 | sigfig =3| nonscinote =y}} yields 00%Use a prescribed number of significant figures with large percentages
{{Percentage | 40000000 |2| sigfig =3}} yields 2.00×109%Use a prescribed number of significant figures with large percentages without scientific notation
{{Percentage | 40000000 |2| sigfig =3| nonscinote =y}} yields 2000000000%Dividing by zero will result in "nan" (undefined)
{{Percentage | 0 | 0 | 0 }} yields nan%TemplateData for Percentage
Calculates and displays a percentage value.
| Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Numerator | 1 | The Numerator of the calculated value. The percentage will be calculated as Numerator divided by Denominator. Use of comma as a thousands separator is optional. | Number | required |
| Denominator | 2 | The Denominator of the calculated value. The percentage will be calculated as Numerator divided by Denominator. Use of comma as a thousands separator is optional. Can be left out, in which case 100 will be used as the Denominator, and the Numerator will be the direct percentage used.
| Number | suggested |
| Decimals | 3 | Number of decimals to round to (zero or greater); if pad is not Yes, 0-digits will be cropped from the end.
| Number | optional |
| Pad / actual number of digits | pad | If yes, use all digits given in Decimals. If a number, pad to that number of decimals. | String | optional |
| Significant figures | sigfig | If set to a positive integer, the precision of the returned number will be adjusted to match the requested number of significant figures. | Number | optional |
| % replacement | % | Replacement for % symbol
| String | optional |
