Percentage Increase Calculator

To calculate percentage increase, subtract the original value from the new value, divide that difference by the original value, and multiply by 100: ((New − Old) / Old) × 100. A positive result indicates net percentage growth between the two numbers.

Percentage Increase (%) = ((New Value − Original Value) / Original Value) × 100

Percentage Points vs. Percentage Change

A common source of confusion in finance, tax policy, and interest rate announcements:

Percentage Points (pp)The simple arithmetic difference between two percentage values. If a central bank interest rate moves from 5% to 8%, it increased by 3 percentage points (8 − 5 = 3).
Percentage Change (%)The relative proportional increase or decrease against the original baseline. Moving from 5% to 8% is a 60% relative increase ((8 − 5) / 5 × 100 = 60%).

Multiply the original value by 1.20 (or calculate 20% of the value and add it to the original). For example, a 20% increase on 150 equals 150 × 1.20 = 180.
