The Page Percentage Calculator helps readers track their progress through a book by calculating what percentage of the book they've completed based on the current page number and total pages.
The calculator uses the percentage formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates what portion of the book you've read by dividing your current page by the total pages and converting it to a percentage.
Details: Tracking reading progress helps with goal setting, maintaining motivation, and managing reading time effectively. It's particularly useful for students, book clubs, and anyone working through long or challenging material.
Tips: Enter your current page number and the book's total page count. Both values must be positive numbers, and the current page cannot exceed the total pages.
Q1: Should I count blank pages or just content pages?
A: For most purposes, use the total page count from the book's numbering. Only exclude pages if they're completely blank and not part of the actual book numbering.
Q2: How accurate is this for e-books?
A: It works well if the e-book has stable page numbers. For percentage-based e-readers, they typically show progress automatically.
Q3: Can I use this for tracking multiple books?
A: Yes, you can use it for each book individually to track your progress through your reading list.
Q4: What if my book has roman numeral prefatory pages?
A: You can either include them in your total count or start counting from page 1 of the main content - just be consistent.
Q5: Is there a mobile app version?
A: This web version works on mobile browsers. For dedicated apps, check your device's app store for reading trackers.
