About this generator

Percentages are everywhere: sales, test scores, surveys, interest and nutrition labels. These worksheets build the skill step by step. Younger pupils start with friendly percentages such as 10 %, 25 % and 50 % of round amounts, which can be solved with mental maths and simple fractions. Older pupils move on to any percentage, finding what share one number is of another, working backwards to the whole from a known part, and calculating price increases and discounts. Word problems use everyday situations like shop sales, class surveys and sports results, and every answer in the key includes the right unit, such as pupils, litres or the local currency. All numbers are chosen so the answers come out cleanly at the easier levels, while the harder levels include decimals. The answer key is calculated by the website, never guessed, so it always matches the tasks. No sign-up is needed and no personal data is collected.

Popular uses

  • Homework and revision before a test
  • Differentiated work: the same topic at three levels

Plan a useful printable

Start with one clear learning goal and choose only the settings that support it. A short, focused sheet is often easier to explain, complete and review than a crowded page. The live preview makes it possible to check spacing, task count and difficulty before paper is used. Create another version when a class needs the same skill with different content.

Adapt it to the learner

Use fewer items, larger writing areas and familiar content for beginners. Increase the amount, range or complexity gradually for confident learners. Teachers can also combine the printable with oral instructions, pair work or a short follow-up discussion. Because every page is customizable, the same activity can support a warm-up, independent practice, homework or revision.

Print clearly and reuse

Choose A4 or US Letter to match the printer, then print at 100 percent whenever exact spacing matters. The PDF option uses the browser print dialog and creates a clean file for later use. Generated content is prepared in the browser, requires no pupil account and has no watermark. Review every sheet before sharing it, especially when you add your own words or text.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate a percentage of a number?
Divide the percentage by 100 and multiply by the number. For example, 20 % of 150 is 0.2 × 150 = 30.
Do the word problems include units?
Yes. The answer key shows the unit, such as “45 pupils” or “120 kr”, so pupils can check both the number and the unit.
Which ages are the percentage sheets for?
Choose between 8–10, 10–12, 12–14 and 14–16 years. Most pupils meet percentages around age 10–12.
