How to use

A percentage increase is the markup applied on top of a value: the base plus the percentage you enter. It is used to update a price list, pass a cost increase along or correct an amount by an index, and it shows both ends — how much was added and where the value landed.

  • Repricing after a cost increase or an index adjustment.
  • Passing freight or an input cost on to the final price.
  • Checking how much a 12 % increase changes the list.
  1. Enter the starting value, without the increase.
  2. Enter the increase percentage — 15 means fifteen percent more.
  3. Read the increase amount and the final value; to reduce, use the discount calculator.

Formula

Increase = value × percentage ÷ 100 · Final value = value + increase

Example

A product at 200 with a 15 % increase rises 30 and now costs 230.

Limitations

  • The percentage applies to the value you entered, not to a market average.
  • Successive increases do not add up: 10 % then 10 % gives 21 %, not 20 %.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an increase and a discount?

The sign. An increase adds the percentage, a discount subtracts it, which is why a 10 % rise followed by a 10 % cut does not return to the original number.

Can I use it for rent or a subscription fee?

Yes, it is the same index adjustment: enter the current amount and the agreed percentage.
