How it works

Formula: ((New − Old) ÷ Old) × 100.

Example

From 150 to 180: ((180−150)÷150)×100 = 20% increase.

Assumptions & limitations

If the new value is lower than the original, the result will be negative — use the percentage decrease calculator to express it as a decrease.

Frequently asked questions

What if the new value is smaller?

The result will show as negative, meaning a decrease rather than an increase.
