Enter the initial and final performance values into the calculator to determine the percentage increase in performance. This calculator helps to evaluate the improvement in performance over time or after certain modifications.

Performance Increase Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the percentage increase in performance:

PI = ((FP - IP) / IP) * 100

Variables:

  • PI is the performance increase (%)
  • FP is the final performance (units)
  • IP is the initial performance (units)

To calculate the performance increase, subtract the initial performance from the final performance, divide by the initial performance, and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

What is Performance Increase?

Performance increase is a measure of the improvement in performance of a system, individual, or process over time. It is often expressed as a percentage to quantify the change relative to the initial performance. This metric is commonly used in various fields such as business, sports, education, and technology to assess progress and the effectiveness of strategies or interventions.

How to Calculate Performance Increase?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Performance Increase.


  1. First, determine the initial performance (IP) in relevant units.
  2. Next, determine the final performance (FP) in the same units as the initial performance.
  3. Use the formula PI = ((FP – IP) / IP) * 100 to calculate the performance increase.
  4. Finally, calculate the Performance Increase (PI) in percentage.
  5. 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 performance (IP) = 80 units

Final performance (FP) = 100 units
