Appraisal Hike Percentage Formula

The appraisal hike percentage is the percent increase from the old appraisal value to the new appraisal value.

H = ((N - O) / O) * 100

To calculate the new appraisal when you know the old appraisal and hike percentage:

N = O * (1 + H / 100)

To calculate the old appraisal when you know the new appraisal and hike percentage:

O = N / (1 + H / 100)
  • H = appraisal hike percentage
  • N = new appraisal value
  • O = old appraisal value

The calculator works by leaving one field blank. If you enter the new appraisal and old appraisal, it calculates the percentage hike. If you enter the old appraisal and hike percentage, it calculates the new appraisal. If you enter the new appraisal and hike percentage, it works backward to find the old appraisal.

Example Appraisal Hike Percentage Calculations

Example 1: Calculate the appraisal hike percentage

You have an old appraisal of $250,000 and a new appraisal of $300,000.

H = ((300000 - 250000) / 250000) * 100
H = (50000 / 250000) * 100 = 20%

The appraisal hike percentage is 20%.

Example 2: Calculate the new appraisal

You have an old appraisal of $400,000 and the hike percentage is 12%.

N = 400000 * (1 + 12 / 100)
N = 400000 * 1.12 = 448000

The new appraisal is $448,000.

FAQ

What is an appraisal hike percentage?

An appraisal hike percentage is the percentage increase between an old appraisal value and a new appraisal value. It shows how much the value rose compared with the original appraisal, not just the dollar increase.

Can the appraisal hike percentage be negative?

Yes. If the new appraisal is lower than the old appraisal, the result is negative. For example, if an appraisal falls from $300,000 to $270,000, the hike percentage is -10%. In that case, it is better described as a decrease rather than a hike.

Why can’t the old appraisal be zero?

The old appraisal cannot be zero when calculating the hike percentage because the formula divides by the old appraisal. Division by zero is not valid, so you need a nonzero old appraisal value.
