Understanding This Calculator

Successive Percentage Change

Calculate the net effect of two consecutive percentage changes. You cannot simply add them together.

Final = Initial × (1 + r₁) × (1 + r₂)
Net Change = (1 + r₁)(1 + r₂) - 1

Example 1

Increase +20%, then Decrease -10%

  • Factors: 1.20 and 0.90
  • Net Factor: 1.20 × 0.90 = 1.08
  • Net Change: +8% (Not +10%)

Example 2

Increase +50%, then Decrease -50%

  • Factors: 1.50 and 0.50
  • Net Factor: 1.50 × 0.50 = 0.75
  • Net Change: -25% (Not 0%)
