Percentage change is calculated by dividing the change in value by the absolute value of the original value and multiplying by 100. Percentage Change = ΔV / |V1| × 100 = (V2 − V1) / |V1| × 100 Where: V1 = Original value V2 = New value ΔV = Change in value (V2 − V1) This formula expresses the proportional change between two values as a percentage.
