Understanding Percentage Change

Percentage change is a simple yet powerful metric that shows the relative change between two values. It’s commonly used in business to measure the difference in key performance indicators (KPIs), such as sales growth, cost reduction, or customer acquisition progress.

Industry Benchmarks for Percentage Change

Note: These benchmarks can vary based on the industry, business model, and specific KPIs being analyzed. Always compare your percentage change against your own historical performance for accurate insights.

Practical Example

Scenario:

You had 500 customers last month and 600 customers this month.

Calculation:

Percentage Change = ((600 – 500) ÷ 500) × 100 = 20%

Interpretation:

A 20% increase in customers means your customer base has grown significantly this month, which could signal effective marketing or improved retention.
