How the Percent Change Calculator works

Percent change measures how much a value has increased or decreased relative to its starting point. It's used everywhere — price changes, investment returns, growth rates — and the key is that the change is always measured against the original value.

Formula

Percent change = (New − Old) ÷ |Old| × 100

Old is the starting value, New is the ending value. A positive result is an increase, a negative result a decrease. The denominator is the original value, which is why the same absolute change is a bigger percentage from a smaller base.

Worked example: a price rising from $40 to $55

  1. Old = 40; New = 55.
  2. Change = 55 − 40 = 15.
  3. Percent change = 15 ÷ 40 × 100 = 37.5% increase.
  4. Going back from 55 to 40 is a −27.3% change — note it's not −37.5%, because the base changed.

How to read the result

Percentage changes aren't symmetric: a 50% rise followed by a 50% fall doesn't return you to the start, because each percentage is taken from a different base. This is why a stock that drops 50% must rise 100% to recover.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Using the new value as the denominator instead of the old.
  • Assuming an increase and the reverse decrease are equal percentages.
  • Confusing percentage change with percentage points (a rate going 5%→7% is +2 points, but +40%).

Frequently Asked Questions — Percent Change Calculator

Subtract the old value from the new, divide by the old value, and multiply by 100. Positive means an increase, negative a decrease.
Each percentage is taken from a different base. A 50% drop then a 50% rise leaves you below the start, because the rise applies to the smaller amount.
Percentage points measure the raw difference between two rates (5% to 7% is 2 points), while percent change measures it relative to the start (5% to 7% is a 40% increase).
