Update: The below answer shows a percentage based on total data but @William Surya Permana has an excellent answer that updates based on the shown data https://stackoverflow.com/a/49717859/2737978
In options you can pass in a tooltips object (more can be read at the chartjs docs)
A field of tooltips, to get the result you want, is a callbacks object with a label field. label will be a function that takes in the tooltip item which you have hovered over and the data which makes up your graph. Just return a string, that you want to go in the tooltip, from this function.
Here is an example of what this can look like
tooltips: {
callbacks: {
label: function(tooltipItem, data) {
//get the concerned dataset
var dataset = data.datasets[tooltipItem.datasetIndex];
//calculate the total of this data set
var total = dataset.data.reduce(function(previousValue, currentValue, currentIndex, array) {
return previousValue + currentValue;
});
//get the current items value
var currentValue = dataset.data[tooltipItem.index];
//calculate the precentage based on the total and current item, also this does a rough rounding to give a whole number
var percentage = Math.floor(((currentValue/total) * 100)+0.5);
return percentage + "%";
}
}
}
and a full example with the data you provided
var randomScalingFactor = function() {
return Math.round(Math.random() * 100);
};
var randomColorFactor = function() {
return Math.round(Math.random() * 255);
};
var randomColor = function(opacity) {
return 'rgba(' + randomColorFactor() + ',' + randomColorFactor() + ',' + randomColorFactor() + ',' + (opacity || '.3') + ')';
};
var config = {
type: 'doughnut',
data: {
datasets: [{
data: [
486.5,

var dataset = data.datasets[tooltipItem.datasetIndex];
var total = dataset.data.reduce(function(previousValue, currentValue, currentIndex, array) {
return previousValue + currentValue;
});
var currentValue = dataset.data[tooltipItem.index];
var percentage = Math.floor(((currentValue/total) * 100)+0.5);
return percentage + "%";
}
}
}
}
};
var ctx = document.getElementById("chart-area").getContext("2d");

For those who want to display dynamic percentages based on what currently displayed on the chart (not based on total data), you can try this code:
tooltips: {
callbacks: {
label: function(tooltipItem, data) {
var dataset = data.datasets[tooltipItem.datasetIndex];
var meta = dataset._meta[Object.keys(dataset._meta)[0]];
var total = meta.total;
var currentValue = dataset.data[tooltipItem.index];
var percentage = parseFloat((currentValue/total*100).toFixed(1));
return currentValue + ' (' + percentage + '%)';
},
title: function(tooltipItem, data) {
return data.labels[tooltipItem[0].index];
}
}
},

In 3.5 it will be:
options: {
plugins: {
tooltip: {
callbacks: {
label: function(context){
var data = context.dataset.data,
label = context.label,
currentValue = context.raw,
total = 0;
for( var i = 0; i < data.length; i++ ){
total += data[i];
}
var percentage = parseFloat((currentValue/total*100).toFixed(1));
return label + ": " +currentValue + ' (' + percentage + '%)';
}
}
}
}
}
but better, dynamic version:
options: {
plugins: {
tooltip: {
callbacks: {
label: function(context){
var label = context.label,
currentValue = context.raw,
total = context.chart._metasets[context.datasetIndex].total;
var percentage = parseFloat((currentValue/total*100).toFixed(1));
return label + ": " +currentValue + ' (' + percentage + '%)';
}
}
}
}
}

I came across this question because I needed to show percentage on stacked bar charts. The percentage I needed was per stacked columns. I accomplished this by modifying Willian Surya’s answer like this:
tooltips: {
callbacks: {
label: function(tooltipItem, data) {
var index = tooltipItem.index;
var currentValue = data.datasets[tooltipItem.datasetIndex].data[index];
var total = 0;
data.datasets.forEach(function(el){
total = total + el.data[index];
});
var percentage = parseFloat((currentValue/total*100).toFixed(1));
return currentValue + ' (' + percentage + '%)';
},
title: function(tooltipItem, data) {
return data.datasets[tooltipItem[0].datasetIndex].label;
}
}
}
This is the final result:

Simply use this:
const options = {
responsive: true,
plugins: {
tooltip: {
callbacks: {
label: (Item) => '%' + (Item.formattedValue) + ' | ' + Item.label
}
}
},
};

The usage has changed in 3.x and higher versions, so I will attach a method for this.
const data: ChartData = {
labels: ["Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Green", "Purple", "Orange"],
datasets: [
{
data: excerciseData,
backgroundColor: [
"rgba(255, 99, 132, 0.5)",
"rgba(54, 162, 235, 0.5)",
"rgba(255, 206, 86, 0.5)",
"rgba(75, 192, 192, 0.5)",
"rgba(153, 102, 255, 0.5)",
"rgba(255, 159, 64, 0.5)"
]
}
]
};
...
callbacks: {
label: tooltipItem => {
let total = 0;
data.datasets[0].data.forEach(num => {
total += num as number;
});
const currentValue = data.datasets[0].data[tooltipItem.dataIndex] as number;
const percentage = ((currentValue * 100) / total).toFixed(1) + "%";
return `${currentValue}(${percentage})`;
},
title: tooltipItems => {
return tooltipItems[0].label;
}
}
