For Pokemon Go, is it possible to find out the "perfection" percentage without doing a "power up" or "evolve"?

I have seen video that says we can use an IV calculator such as:

to first find out the possible perfection %, and then keep on "power up" or "evolve", and use the Refine button and you can narrow down the real number for this Pokemon.

For example, it could be 67.8%, 82.2%, 94.8% (just an example), and after some power up and/or evolve, you can narrow down it to 82.2%

But I also have seen a video that says you can go to some website and type in your gmail log in, and it will tell you the perfection % of every single Pokemon that you have. So I presume that will mean you don't have to waste stardust and candies to do the narrow down.

Is it really possible to know the perfection % without using stardust and candies to do the narrow down?

Logging into a service that calculates your CPs is against the T&Cs of the game, and will probably get your account banned.

Since they released the in-game appraisal system, some calculators are giving pretty accurate results (e.g. ) when you enter the appraisal stats too.

Unfortunately you can't always guarantee that you'll be able to calculate the exact CPs (it's usually at most a range of a few percent though).

Until recently I was using PokeAdvisor website which gave you the exact IV% of your Pokemon but also tracked some other cool stats such as balls thrown, % of nice throws, etc. Unfortunately this was shut down by Niantic... I think they are being more busy with shutting down third party sites than actually improving their game.

Anyhow back on topic: Nowadays I have been using this website While it is not as perfect as PokeAdvisor was, it's still much easier to check your IV's than doing it manually :-)
