About the Percentage Tally Calculator
A Percentage Tally Calculator is a counter that shows each category as a share of the whole. Shares let you compare groups of different sizes.
Rounding can push displayed shares to 99% or 101%. The calculator uses the largest remainder method, which rounds shares so the displayed values always sum to exactly 100%.
