Enter the initial value and the increase percentage into the calculator to determine the final value after the increase. This calculator helps in determining the new value of an item or amount after a specified percentage increase.

Value Increase Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the final value after an increase.

FV = IV * (1 + (IP / 100))

Variables:

  • FV is the final value after the increase
  • IV is the initial value before the increase
  • IP is the increase percentage

To calculate the final value after an increase, multiply the initial value by one plus the increase percentage divided by 100.

What is Value Increase?

It is often expressed as a percentage of the initial value. Understanding value increase is essential for financial planning, investment analysis, and pricing strategies.

How to Calculate Value Increase?

The following steps outline how to calculate the final value after an increase.


  1. First, determine the initial value (IV) in dollars.
  2. Next, determine the increase percentage (IP).
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = FV = IV * (1 + (IP / 100)).
  4. Finally, calculate the final value (FV) in dollars.
  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.
