    To calculate percentage increase, use the following method:

    First, Work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

    Increase = New Number - Original Number

    Now, divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.

    % increase = Increase : Original Number * 100.

    Also, If your answer is a negative number it is a percentage decrease.

    To calculate percentage decrease, use this method:

    First, Work out the difference (decrease) between the two numbers you are comparing.

    Decrease = Original Number - New Number

    Then, divide the decrease by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.

    % Decrease = Decrease : Original Number * 100

    Also, If your answer is a negative number then it is a percentage increase.

    If you wish to calculate the percentage increase or decrease of several numbers then I recommend using the first formula. Positive values indicate a percentage increase whereas negative values indicate percentage decrease.
