Example

If your initial investment was $1,000 and it grew to $1,250 after one year:

  1. Initial Value = $1,000
  2. Final Value = $1,250
  3. Net Change = $1,250 - $1,000 = $250
  4. Percentage Change = ($250 / $1,000) × 100 = 25%

So your investment grew by $250, representing a 25% increase over the year.
