Enter the original and adjusted values into the calculator to determine the adjustment factor. This calculator helps in understanding how much a certain value has changed in relation to its original amount.
Adjustment Factor Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the adjustment factor.
AF = AV / OV
Variables:
- AF is the adjustment factor
- AV is the adjusted value
- OV is the original value
To calculate the adjustment factor, divide the adjusted value by the original value.
What is an Adjustment Factor?
An adjustment factor is a multiplier used to scale a certain original value to an adjusted value. It is often used in financial analysis, statistics, and various fields of engineering and science to account for changes or differences in data or systems. The adjustment factor can be used to standardize values, correct measurements, or apply inflation rates, among other applications.
How to Calculate an Adjustment Factor?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Adjustment Factor.
- First, determine the original value (OV).
- Next, determine the adjusted value (AV).
- Next, gather the formula from above = AF = AV / OV.
- Finally, calculate the Adjustment Factor (AF).
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
original value (OV) = 50
adjusted value (AV) = 75
