Percentage Increase & Decrease Calculator Formula
The Percentage Increase & Decrease Calculator uses a clear formula that helps you track value shifts. The steps show how much a number grows or drops. This supports quick checks for maths, marks, and simple data work.
Core Percent Increase Formula
Percent Increase = ((New Value − Old Value) ÷ Old Value) × 100
This shows how much the new value grows compared to the old one. It works for marks, prices, or any value jump.
Core Percent Decrease Formula
Percent Decrease = ((Old Value − New Value) ÷ Old Value) × 100
This checks how much the value falls. Students use it for grade drops, score changes, or basic comparison work.
How the Formula Works With Your Data

This is your starting point. It may be a mark, a test score, or a simple number from your data set.
Enter the New Value

Find the Difference

Divide and Multiply
The formula divides the difference by the old value. It then multiplies the result by 100 to give the final percentage.
