Understanding Percentage Increase
Percentage increase is a way to express the extent to which a quantity has gained value over time. It's widely used in finance, statistics, and everyday life to understand growth, change, or trends.
Formula: The percentage increase is calculated using the formula: Percentage Increase = [(New Value - Original Value) / Original Value] * 100. Alternatively, to find the increased value directly, we use: Increased Value = Original Value + (Original Value * Percentage Increase / 100).
Use Cases: Common applications include calculating salary raises, tracking business growth, analyzing investment returns, and understanding population growth. For example, if your salary increased from $50,000 to $55,000, the percentage increase helps quantify this change.
This calculator simplifies the process, allowing you to quickly determine the percentage increase or the final value after an increase.
