This page opens the percentage calculator in percentage-change mode: enter a starting value A and a final value B, and the tool reports how much B differs from A in percent, clearly labeled as an increase or a decrease.

The formula divides the difference by the starting value: (B − A) ÷ A × 100. The direction matters — a price going from 200 to 250 is a +25% increase, but falling from 250 back to 200 is only a −20% decrease, because the base of the comparison changed. This asymmetry is the single most common percentage mistake, and the labeled result makes it impossible to miss.

Percentage change is the standard way to express price movements, salary revisions, traffic growth, inflation and portfolio returns. Type any two values, positive or negative, and the result updates live in your browser — no data leaves your device.
