How to use the percentage change calculator.

01

Add the requested inputs

Use the labelled fields in the workspace above. If example values are provided, try them first or replace them with your own.

02

Calculate and review

Use the main action when needed. Percentage change = (new − old) ÷ |old| × 100.

03

Try a worked example

A move from 80 to 100 is a 25% increase; a move from 100 to 80 is a 20% decrease.

04

Check the assumptions

There is no finite percentage change from a starting value of zero; use the absolute change instead.
