Armor & Protection Calculator
Minecraft's armour formula is not a flat percentage: armour points and toughness compete against the size of the hit, which is why heavy damage punches through weak armour and netherite's toughness matters more than its armour bar. Pick a set, enter the incoming damage, and see what actually lands, before and after Protection.

Armour points and toughness compete against the hit’s size, which is why a big hit punches through weak armour: netherite’s 12 toughness is what keeps heavy damage down, not its armour bar. Protection adds 4% per EPF point and caps at 20 EPF (80%).
