Understanding Percent Increase

Percent increase shows how much a value has grown as a percentage of its original amount. It's commonly used in:

  • Financial analysis (price increases, investment returns)
  • Population growth studies
  • Scientific measurements
  • Business metrics (sales growth, market share)

How to Calculate Percent Increase

Formula: Percent Increase = ((Final Value - Initial Value) / |Initial Value|) × 100

Example Calculation

If a stock price increases from $50 to $75:

  1. Difference: $75 - $50 = $25
  2. Divide by initial: $25 / $50 = 0.5
  3. Convert to percentage: 0.5 × 100 = 50%
