What is a percentage change?
Percentage change expresses how much a value increased or decreased relative to its starting value. Enter the original value and the new value. A zero starting value makes the percentage change undefined unless both values are zero; in that case there is no absolute change.
Formula and calculation method
Percentage change (%) = (new value − original value) ÷ original value × 100. Absolute change = new value − original value.
