Relative Change Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the relative change of a value.
R = (B-A) / B * 100
- Where R is the relative change of B with respect to A (%)
- B is the final value
- A is the initial value
To calculate a relative change, subtract the initial value from the final value, divide by the final value, the multiply by 100.
