How to Add and Set Up the Percentage Widget on Your Form

Jotform’s Percentage widget is a quick way to collect percentage values with ease. Instead of having users type out numbers and symbols on their own, this widget keeps everything simple and consistent. Whether you’re asking for discounts, progress tracking, or feedback scores, the Percentage widget makes your form look polished and keeps your data accurate.

Here are a few ways to use it:

• Calculate Discounts or Sales Offers — You can use the Percentage widget to automatically apply discount percentages to product prices or service fees. This helps users see the reduced price in real time.
• Compute Tax or Service Charges — The widget can calculate taxes, service fees, or gratuities based on a percentage of the total. This ensures accurate totals on order forms or invoices.
• Determine Grade or Score Percentages — For quizzes, tests, or assessments, the Percentage widget can calculate a user’s score as a percentage, making results clear and immediate.
• Track Progress or Completion Rates — You can use the widget to display progress, completion, or performance percentages for projects, tasks, or user inputs.
