Percentage change formula

\(F\) = Final value
\(B\) = base value
\(P\) = Percentage

Percentage changes

\(\displaystyle P=\frac{F-B}{|B|}\cdot 100\)

Please note that the base value in the denominator is given as an absolute value, i.e. always positive.


Difference

\(\displaystyle D=F-B\)

Example


A $2500 investment grew to $2750 in one year. How much is the change?

\(\displaystyle P=\frac{F-B}{B}\cdot 100\)   = \(\displaystyle \frac{2750-2500}{2500}\cdot 100 = 10\%\)


\(\displaystyle D=F-B\; =2750-2500=250\)
