How to use this tool?
Follow these steps to calculate the relative change between two values:
- Enter the Initial Value in the first field (e.g., 100).
- Enter the Final Value in the second field (e.g., 150).
- Click the Calculate button.
The result shows the percentage change (e.g., +50.00% for an increase). If the initial value is zero, an error will appear because division by zero is not possible.
Tip: Use any positive or negative numbers. The calculator automatically handles negative changes (e.g., -20.00% for a decrease).
