Original valueThe starting number, baseline price, old measurement or previous total.New valueThe ending number, new price, current measurement or latest total.

Live result+25%increase from 80 to 100

Formula used

Percentage change = ((new value − original value) ÷ |original value|) × 100.

This is the method behind the answer, so the result can be checked rather than simply trusted.

Assumptions used

What this answer assumes

Check the baseline before using the percentage in a report, quote or performance comparison.

The original value is the baseline for the comparison.
A positive result is an increase; a negative result is a decrease.
When the original value is zero, ordinary percentage change is undefined because division by zero is not valid.
The formula uses the absolute original value so comparisons from negative baselines keep a stable percent magnitude.

Master’s Tip

How to use the result well

Master’s Tip: percentage change can sound larger or smaller depending on the chosen baseline. A rise from 1 to 2 is a 100% increase, but a fall from 2 to 1 is a 50% decrease. Always state the original value when sharing a result.

What-if check

Baseline sensitivity

The same new value can tell a different story when the baseline changes. This table keeps the percentage tied to the original value instead of treating the percent as a standalone fact.

Baseline used	Percent change	Meaning
40.00	150.00%	increase
80.00	25.00%	increase
160.00	37.50%	decrease

Visual proof

Original vs new value

Blue is the original baseline. Gold is the new value. The formula divides the change by the absolute original value, so a zero baseline has no standard percentage-change result.

+25%increase from 80 to 100

Inputs

Original value: 80
New value: 100

Method

Percentage change = ((new value − original value) ÷ |original value|) × 100.

Original value 80 and new value 100 gives a change of 20. Divide 20 by 80 to get 0.25, then multiply by 100. The result is a 25% increase.

Assumptions

The original value is the baseline for the comparison.
A positive result is an increase; a negative result is a decrease.
When the original value is zero, ordinary percentage change is undefined because division by zero is not valid.
The formula uses the absolute original value so comparisons from negative baselines keep a stable percent magnitude.
