Percentages Worksheet Generator

The awkward part of setting percentage questions by hand is keeping the answers tidy: 15% of 70 is 10.5, which teaches nothing about percentages and a great deal about decimals. Every amount here is chosen so the percentage comes out exactly, which means each question tests the idea rather than the arithmetic of rounding.

School year

Sets the level below to the number range usually worked with at that age. Move the level afterwards if it is not right for this child.

What to practise

Level

How many questions

Between 1 and 100.

Columns

How the sheet is laid out, 1 to 4.

Seed (optional)

A word reproduces exactly the same sheet.

Paper size

Print size

Margin

Millimetres of blank edge, 5 to 40.

Turn the paper sideways

How to print this, or save it as a PDF

There is no PDF to download, and there does not need to be. Open the print command in your browser and choose “Save as PDF” as the destination. The page addresses and dates a browser normally prints across the top and bottom are already kept off.
Set the scale to 100%, not “fit to page”. This sheet is already the exact size of the paper you chose, so anything that resizes it makes every measurement on it wrong.
Leave the paper size in the dialog set to the same one you chose here.

Your worksheet will appear here.

What this generator does

Produces a numbered sheet of percentage questions where every amount is chosen so the answer comes out whole, together with an answer key and the method for each.

How to use this tool

Choose the kind of percentage question.
Choose a level, which widens the percentages used.
Set how many questions and how many columns.
Show the answers to get the key, with the method for each.

Understanding the controls

What to practise: Percentage of an amount, increase, decrease, one number as a percentage of another, finding the original amount, or converting a percentage to a fraction.
School year: Choose the year under whichever name you use; they are one option. The level below opens at the range that age normally works with.
Level: Widens the percentages used, from a handful of simple ones up to any whole percentage.
How many questions: One to a hundred. Conversion questions draw on a shorter fixed pool, so those sheets have a lower ceiling and say so.
Columns: Sets the across-the-page layout, one to four.
Paper size and print size: A4, A5, A3, US Letter or Legal, portrait or landscape, with the margin in millimetres and a compact, standard or large-print setting. The sheet count updates as you change them.
Seed: A word you choose brings this exact sheet back.

Common use cases

Practice on percentages of amounts, or on increases and decreases
Reverse percentage questions, which are the ones pupils find hardest
Converting between percentages and fractions
Homework with a matching answer key
Revision before a test on percentages

How this generator works

Each question is worked out again from its own wording — the percentage and the amount are read straight out of the printed sentence and recombined. Conversions are held to two conditions rather than one: the fraction must equal the percentage in value, and it must not be reducible any further.

Randomness and fairness

Percentages and amounts are drawn using the browser's secure generator, with the amount always a multiple of whatever makes the answer whole. A seed rebuilds the same sheet exactly — that path is deterministic, not cryptographic, and exists so the same sheet can be printed twice.

For how randomness is produced across the whole site, see how Generate Random works.

Limitations and good to know

Answers are always whole numbers, so questions that genuinely produce a decimal never appear.
Compound percentage change over several periods is not covered.
Amounts have no units, so there is no money formatting or rounding to the penny.
The conversion questions go from percentage to fraction only, not the other way.
Nothing Percentages Worksheet Generator produces is kept once the page closes — the seed is the only way back to the same output.
