Percentage Change Calculator

The formula is (new value minus old value) divided by old value, times 100. If something went from 50 to 75, the change is 25 divided by 50, which is 0.5, or 50 percent increase. Negative results indicate a decrease. The old value is always the denominator, which is important to

How is percentage change calculated?
The formula is (new value minus old value) divided by old value, times 100. If something went from 50 to 75, the change is 25 divided by 50, which is 0.5, or 50 percent increase. Negative results indicate a decrease. The old value is always the denominator, which is important to remember.
What is the difference between percentage change and percentage points?
If interest rates rise from 4 percent to 5 percent, that is a 1 percentage point increase but a 25 percent change. Percentage points are the simple subtraction; percentage change is the relative growth. News reports often confuse the two. This calculator returns percentage change (the relative figure).
Can the result be more than 100 percent?
Yes, when the new value is more than double the old value. Going from 10 to 30 is a 200 percent increase. Going from 10 to 5 is a 50 percent decrease, but the lowest a value can drop is 100 percent, meaning to zero. Increases have no upper bound, but decreases are capped at minus 100 percent.
What if the original value is zero?
The formula is undefined because you would be dividing by zero. There is no meaningful percentage change when starting from zero, since any positive new value is technically infinite percent more. The calculator will show an error in this case. Use absolute change (just the difference) to describe the move instead.
How do I calculate the average of several percentage changes?
Do not just average the percentages, that is misleading. Use a geometric mean instead: multiply (1 plus each change as a decimal), take the nth root where n is the number of periods, then subtract 1. For investment returns this gives the compound annual growth rate, which is far more honest than a simple arithmetic average.
Why do a 50 percent loss and 50 percent gain not cancel out?
Because each percentage applies to a different base. If $100 drops 50 percent to $50, then gains 50 percent, it goes back to $75, not $100. To recover from a 50 percent loss you need a 100 percent gain. This asymmetry is why losses hurt more than equivalent gains help.
