Frequently asked about Percentage Calculator

How do you calculate percent change between two values?+

(new − old) ÷ old × 100. A positive result is an increase, negative is a decrease. We display both the percent and the absolute difference.

Can the result be more than 100%?+

Yes. Percent change can exceed 100% if the new value is more than double the old. Percent of a number can also exceed 100% (e.g. 150% of 80 = 120).

How is percent decrease different from percent off?+

Mathematically they're the same operation. 'Percent off' is the retail framing of percent decrease, where the old value is the original price.

Why do I get a divide-by-zero error?+

Percent change relative to zero is mathematically undefined. Use absolute difference instead when the starting value is zero.
