The Percentage Change Formula

The formula for percentage change is:

Percentage Change = ((New Value - Old Value) / Old Value) × 100

A positive result indicates an increase; a negative result indicates a decrease.

Calculating Percent Increase

To find what a value becomes after a percentage increase:

New Value = Original Value × (1 + Percentage/100)

Example: $100 increased by 25% = $100 × 1.25 = $125

Calculating Percent Decrease

To find what a value becomes after a percentage decrease:

New Value = Original Value × (1 - Percentage/100)

Example: $100 decreased by 25% = $100 × 0.75 = $75

Finding the Original Value

If you know the result and the percentage change, find the original:

• After increase: Original = Result ÷ (1 + Percentage/100)
• After decrease: Original = Result ÷ (1 - Percentage/100)
