Percent to Tailwind Converter

Convert Percentage (%) to Tailwind.

96

Calculates which fixed-value Tailwind class (like `w-96`) equals the given percentage of the parent.

About Percent to Tailwind Converter

This tool is useful when you have a percentage-based design (e.g. 50% of a container) and you want to implement it using fixed Tailwind spacing utilities (like `w-96` or `h-64`). It calculates the pixel value of the percentage and matches it to a Tailwind unit.

Formula

Tailwind Value = (((Percentage / 100) × Parent Size) / Root Size) × 4

Examples

50% of 768px = 384px -> 384px / 16px
100% of 16px = 16px -> 4 units

Reference

  • • Converts % -> PX -> Tailwind
  • • Useful for fixed-width fallbacks
  • • Or checking pixel logic of fluids

Frequency Asked Questions

Why fallback from % to fixed?

Sometimes you need a specific breakpoint override or want to 'lock' a fluid element to a static size.

Does this generate w-1/2 or w-50%?

No, this generates the numeric scale class (e.g. `96`) that matches that percentage size. If you want percentage classes, use `w-[50%]` or `w-1/2`.
