Volume Percent Calculator

🧪 Solutions & Molarity. Use the Volume percent formula to find volume percent, solute, total: pick the value you want, type the others, and the answer updates as you go.

%vol=VsoluteVtotal×100\%_{vol} = \dfrac{V_{solute}}{V_{total}}\times 100
Volume percent40 %

Pick the ○ next to the value you want to find, fill in the others, and it solves as you type.

Worked example

Find the volume percent when Solute = 40 mL, Total = 100 mL.

Using \%vol = VsoluteVtotal× 100: Volume percent = 40 %.

Frequently asked questions

What is the formula for Volume percent?

\%vol = VsoluteVtotal× 100.

What do the letters stand for, and what units are used?

Volume percent in %, Solute in mL, Total in mL.

How do you calculate volume percent?

Put the values into \%vol = VsoluteVtotal× 100. For example, with Solute = 40 mL, Total = 100 mL, volume percent = 40 %.

Can I solve for a different value?

Yes. In the calculator above, pick the circle next to any value (volume percent, solute, total) and fill in the others: it rearranges the formula for you.
