Percentage Increase Calculator

Percentage increase shows how much a value has grown relative to its original size. It is widely used in finance, sales, and daily life to track growth or measure changes over time.

For example, if a product price increases from $100 to $120, the percentage increase is 20%.

How to Calculate Percentage Increase

To calculate percentage increase, use this simple formula:

\[
\text{Percentage Increase} = \frac{\text{New Value} – \text{Original Value}}{\text{Original Value}} \times 100
\]

Steps:

1. Subtract the original value from the new value.
2. Divide the difference by the original value.
3. Multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.

Example:

Original Price = $50

New Price = $75

\[
\text{Percentage Increase} = \frac{75 – 50}{50} \times 100 = 50\%
\]
