Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate percentage change?

Subtract the old value from the new value, divide by the old value and multiply by 100.

Why is a 50% drop not undone by a 50% rise?

The rise applies to a smaller number. 100 minus 50% is 50, and 50 plus 50% is 75.

Limits and privacy

Percentage change from zero is undefined and reported as such.
