Procentuální is a Czech adjective meaning relating to or expressed as a percent. It is used to describe quantities that are presented as a fraction of 100 and appears in mathematics, statistics, economics, and everyday language.

The term is tied to the noun proce nto, i.e., percent. A percentage expresses a proportion of a whole in percent units; for example, 25% equals 25/100 or 0.25. The basic rule is that p procent of X equals (p/100) × X. The adverb form procentuálně means in a percentage manner.

Common uses include procentuální podíl (share expressed as a percentage), procentuální změna (percentage change), or procentuální zastoupení (proportional representation). In data presentation, percentages are often accompanied by absolute values to show relative scale.

In Czech, procentuální is used in formal and technical writing as well as journalism. It is sometimes used interchangeably with procentní, though procentuální emphasizes the relationship to percent more explicitly.

Etymology: The Czech procento (percent) derives from Latin pro centum (for a hundred), filtered through European languages. The adjective procentuální was formed to align with Czech adjective patterns.
