Percent Change
This worksheet performs percentage change computations with
either one or more compounding periods:
• Old: the old value.
• New: the new value.
• Change%: the percentage
changed. For example, an
8.125% change would be
entered as “8.125”. A
positive value represents an
increase while a negative
one represents a decrease.
• Periods: the number of
periods.
Example: Over 4 years, sales increased from $45 million to $115
million. The industry average is 20% increase per year. How does
your company compare?
