What is Percentage Change?
Percentage change measures how much a value has increased or decreased relative to its original value. It's one of the most commonly used calculations in finance, statistics, and everyday life.
A positive percentage change indicates growth or increase, while a negative value indicates decline or decrease.
The Formula
Percentage Change = ((New Value - Original Value) / Original Value) × 100
| Scenario | Example |
|---|---|
| Price increased from $50 to $75 | ((75-50)/50) × 100 = +50% |
| Population dropped from 1000 to 900 | ((900-1000)/1000) × 100 = -10% |
