About this tool

Percentage change is the difference between two values divided by the original value, expressed out of one hundred. It is how price rises, salary increases, traffic growth and cost cuts are normally reported.

Direction matters: a fall from 100 to 50 is a 50% decrease, but going back from 50 to 100 is a 100% increase. The tool always measures change relative to the first value you enter.
