A Percentage Increase Calculator determines the percentage change between an original value and a new value. This calculation helps understand the proportional increase from the original to the updated value.

Example:

Let's say you have a product that was initially priced at $50, and now it's being sold for $70. To find the percentage increase:

  1. Original Value: $50

  2. New Value: $70

The formula to calculate the percentage increase is:

Percentage Increase=(New Value−Original ValueOriginal Value)×100Percentage Increase=(Original ValueNew Value−Original Value​)×100

Substitute the values:

Percentage Increase=(70−5050)×100=(2050)×100=0.4×100=40%Percentage Increase=(5070−50​)×100=(5020​)×100=0.4×100=40%

So, in this case, the price of the product increased by 40%.

The Percentage Increase Calculator provides this calculation in a straightforward manner, allowing you to quickly determine how much a value has increased in comparison to its original state. It's particularly useful in various scenarios like finance (price changes, interest rates), sales, statistics, and more, where understanding the magnitude of an increase is important for analysis or decision-making.
