Enter the total volume and the percentage to find out the part volume. This calculator helps you to determine the volume of a liquid or substance that represents a certain percentage of the total volume.

Percentage To Volume Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the part volume based on the total volume and the percentage.

PV = (P / 100) * TV

Variables:

  • PV is the part volume (liters)
  • P is the percentage (%)
  • TV is the total volume (liters)

To calculate the part volume, divide the percentage by 100 and then multiply by the total volume.

What is Percentage To Volume?

Percentage to volume is a way of expressing a portion of a total volume as a percentage. It is commonly used in chemistry and cooking to measure ingredients or chemicals relative to a mixture’s total volume. This calculation is essential for creating solutions with precise concentrations or recipes with accurate proportions.

How to Calculate Percentage To Volume?

The following steps outline how to calculate the part volume from the total volume and percentage.


  1. First, determine the total volume (TV) in liters.
  2. Next, determine the percentage (P) of the total volume you want to calculate.
  3. Use the formula from above = PV = (P / 100) * TV.
  4. Finally, calculate the part volume (PV) in liters.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

Total Volume (TV) = 50 liters

Percentage (P) = 25%
