Calculate percentage growth
Monthly sales rose from 400 to 460. What is the percentage increase?
Percentage-change setup
Measure the change against the original value
- Original base
- 400 monthly sales
- New value
- 460 monthly sales
- Change
- 460 − 400
- Percent formula
- Change ÷ 400 × 100
The subtraction finds the amount of change; dividing by the original value converts that change into a comparable rate.
