Percentage Increase Calculator

Use this percentage increase calculator to know the increase from one value to another in terms of a percentage. Calculate the percentage increase within a step-by-step calculation by simple entering the values. 

Percentage Increase Formula

The formula for % increase/growth is as follows:

Percentage Increase = Final - Initial |Initial Value| x 100

How to Calculate Percentage Increase?

Percentage increase is the amount of increase from the initial to final number in terms of 100 parts of the original. It is calculated with the help of the following steps:

• Subtract the starting value from the final value 
• Divide the result by the starting value 
• Multiply the results by the 100 %

Example:

Suppose, a book originally cost $50. A year later, it cost $70. So, find the percentage increase and absolute difference in price.

Given Values:

• Initial Value = $50
• Final Value = $70

Calculations:

As we know the formula of percentage increase so put the values into the equation and get a % increase:

Percentage Increase = 70 - 50 |50| x 100

= 20 50 x 100

= 0.4 * 100

= 40 %

Percentage increase is the way to indicate how much a value has risen relative to its original size. Therefore, the use of online percentage increase calculator makes it easy to determine the growth rate of a value with respect to actual size. This increase in % is used to measure growth in different fields including finance, economics, population, and more. A higher increase shows a rapid growth rate as compared to a lower % increase and if there's a 10% increase it means the value has increased by 10 parts for every 100 parts of the original value.
