The Percentage Increase Formula
To calculate the percentage increase between an initial value and a final value:
Percentage Increase (%) = [ (Final Value - Initial Value) ÷ Initial Value ] × 100
Step-by-Step Example
Suppose your monthly revenue increases from $4,000 to $5,200:
- Subtract the starting value from the new value: $5,200 - $4,000 = $1,200.
- Divide that difference by the original value: $1,200 ÷ $4,000 = 0.30.
- Multiply by 100 to convert to percentage: 0.30 × 100 = 30% Increase.
