About This Calculator
This Percentage Increase Calculator helps you determine the percent growth between an original value and a larger new value. It is commonly used in business, finance, and statistics.
How It Works
Enter the original and new values. The calculator ensures the new value is greater than the original. It then computes the difference, divides it by the original, and multiplies by 100 to get the percentage increase.
Percentage Increase = New − OriginalOriginal × 100
