A change from 2400 to 2520 would be a 5% increase.
1. Find the difference between the two years (+128) 2. Divide the difference by your first year's number (128/36 = 3.55) 3. You have a YOY increase of 355%!
You cannot since in such a case a percentage increase cannot be defined.
Calculate percentage changefrom V1 = 3624 to V2 = 8236[ ((V2 - V1) / |V1|) * 100 ]= ((8236 - 3624) / |3624|) * 100= (4612 / 3624) * 100= 1.272627 * 100= 127.2627% change= 127.26% increase.
After 2 years the population has increased by 16.64%. Explanation: Say you start with P people. In 1 year you have 1.08P people. In 2 years there are 1.08(1.08P) people=1.1664P people. The increase is 1.1664P-P=.1664P The rate of increase=.1664P/P=.1664=16.64%
As stated below, it isn't possible to calculate the percentage increase from zero because the calculation will have a zero in the denominator and therefore cause an undefined (near infinite) result. You could however state/express the increase as a decimal number (e.g. 10,000$ increase in revenue) instead of trying to express the increase as a % gain.
I assume you have two (or more) points in time and you want a measure of the percentage increase in incidents between them.Step 1: For the first period calculate the incidence ratewhich is the number of incidents per head of population (or average population if the population changed during the first period). If it is a rare event you may have to look at incidence per thousand or million but that is just playing with the decimal point.Step 2: Calculate the incidence rate for the second period.Step 3: Calculate the percentage change in the incidence rate - not incidents.That would be 100*(I2 - I1)/I1.An alternative would be to calulate the incidents as a percentage of the population for period 1. This is 100*Incidents/Population. Calculate the percentage of incidents for period 2 similarly. In both cases, if the population varies during the period (not between the periods), then use the average population. Then the increase in incidents is (p2 - p1) percentage points. It is critically important that the result is presented as an increases in percentage points and not simply a percentage increase.
Is our increase in population good or bad for the planet
The percentage of increase is 4.5%
Increase
Suppose you start with a number x and it increases to a number y.There are two ways to get to the answer. They are mathematically equivalent and which one you use is up to you.Method 1Step 1: Calculate the z = y - xStep 2: Convert to percentage: 100*z/xMethod 2:Step 1: Calculate increased percentage: 100*y/xStep 2: Calculate percentage increase: 100*y/x - 100
first calculate the value of increase e.g. if 100 increases to 110 then the increase is 10. Then you calculate the percentage increase by diving the increase by the original number then multiply by 100 i.e. (10 divided 100 = 0.1, multiplied by 100 = 10%) or (10/100)*100 same for % decrease but in reverse.
The increase from 8 to 19 is: 137.5%

natural increase + net migration = population change
% increase = |original value - new value| /original value * 100%
