Tint Percentage Calculator

Formula

To calculate the tint percentage (\(TP\)):

\[ TP = \left( \frac{VLTt}{100} \right) \times \left( \frac{VLTg}{100} \right) \times 100 \]

Where:

\(TP\) is the tint percentage (%)
\(VLTt\) is the VLT of the window tint (%)
\(VLTg\) is the VLT of the original glass (%)

What is Tint Percentage?

Tint percentage is a measure of the amount of light that passes through a window after applying a tint. It is calculated based on the visible light transmission (VLT) of both the tint and the original glass.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

VLT of Window Tint (\(VLTt\)) = 35%
VLT of Original Glass (\(VLTg\)) = 70%

Using the formula:

\[ TP = \left( \frac{35}{100} \right) \times \left( \frac{70}{100} \right) \times 100 = 24.5\% \]

The tint percentage is 24.5%.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

VLT of Window Tint (\(VLTt\)) = 50%
VLT of Original Glass (\(VLTg\)) = 80%

Using the formula:

\[ TP = \left( \frac{50}{100} \right) \times \left( \frac{80}{100} \right) \times 100 = 40\% \]

The tint percentage is 40%.
