Enter the initial value and the percentage change into the calculator to determine the obtained value after the change.
Obtained Value Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the obtained value after a percentage change.
OV = IV * (1 + (PC / 100))
Variables:
- OV is the obtained value after the change
- IV is the initial value before the change
- PC is the percentage change
To calculate the obtained value, multiply the initial value by one plus the percentage change divided by 100.
What is Obtained Value?
Obtained value is the final amount after applying a percentage increase or decrease to an initial value. It is a common calculation in finance, economics, and general business to determine the impact of changes in percentages, such as interest rates, growth rates, or discounts.
How to Calculate Obtained Value?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Obtained Value.
- First, determine the initial value (IV).
- Next, determine the percentage change (PC).
- Use the formula from above = OV = IV * (1 + (PC / 100)).
- Finally, calculate the Obtained Value (OV).
- 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.
Initial Value (IV) = $100
Percentage Change (PC) = 10%
