ABOUT THIS TOOL

Calculate the absolute change and the percentage change for positive baseline measurements, using (new − old) / old × 100.

Important: The starting value must be positive. For zero or negative baselines, a percentage change is often ambiguous or undefined; use absolute differences or another suitable metric.

How it works

Method: Absolute change = new value − starting value. Percentage change = (new − starting) / starting × 100%, when the starting value is positive.

Example: An increase from 80 to 100 is an absolute change of 20 and a percentage increase of 25%.
