Percentage points measure the absolute change in percentage. For example, if interest rates go from 5% to 7%, that's a 2 percentage point increase, but a 40% relative increase.
Use the formula: ((New Value - Old Value) / Old Value) × 100. For example, if a price goes from $100 to $120, the increase is ((120-100)/100) × 100 = 20%.
This calculator is best for simple percentage calculations. For compound growth over multiple periods, consider using our investment or loan calculators.
