How to Use the Calculator

- Select whether you want to calculate a Price Increase or a Price Decrease
- Click the Calculate button to see the results
Understanding the Results
- Price Difference: The absolute difference between the new and original prices
- Percentage Change: Shows how much the price has increased or decreased as a percentage of the original price. A positive value indicates an increase, while a negative value indicates a decrease.
- New Price (if original price was $100): This shows what the new price would be if the original price was standardized to $100, making it easier to compare items with different original prices.
Example
If an item originally cost $50 and now costs $75:
- Enter $50 as the Original Price
- Enter $75 as the New Price
- Select "Price Increase"
- Click Calculate
You will see that the price increased by $25 (Price Difference), which is a 50% increase (Percentage Change), and that if the original price was $100, the new price would be $150 (New Price if original was $100).
