Math - percentage change

Direct answers to every common question in this cluster. Each page has the computed value, the formula, and a live converter.

Quick reference

Percentage change measures relative movement between two values. The sign matters: positive = increase, negative = decrease. A 50% drop followed by a 50% rise does NOT get you back to the start — it's an asymmetry that trips people up in finance and statistics.

Formula
% change = ((new − old) ÷ old) × 100
