Percentage calculations

[froamer]

Hi, I love the calculations feature in Alfred. It would be even better if you could include percentages e.g...

 

298*5%

 

Also if you could put constants in preferences so I could define VAT = 20%

 

Then I could type...

 

395+VAT

I second this!

For a simple percentage, you can just do 298*0.05 to get the 5% figure you want.

 

Also, why not create a workflow for fancier calculations like VAT, tips or those other awkward calculations? If you're not sure how, ask the question in the workflows help & questions forum. Granted you can also do it as 395*1.2, but I'd welcome a mindless VAT calculator too
