Reduction Rate

--

Percentage reduction from the original value.

Calculation Formula

Reduction Rate (%) = [(Original Value - Reduced Value) / Original Value] * 100

Where:
- Original Value: The initial value before reduction.
- Reduced Value: The value after reduction.

Reduction Rate Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Reduction Rate Calculator and its working principles.

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the Original Value in the first input field. This is the value before any reduction.
  2. Enter the Reduced Value in the second input field. This is the value after the reduction has been applied.
  3. Click the Calculate button to compute the reduction rate.
  4. The reduction rate will be displayed as a percentage in the results area.

Understanding the Formula

The calculator uses the following formula to calculate the reduction rate:

Reduction Rate (%) = [(Original Value - Reduced Value) / Original Value] * 100

This formula calculates how much the original value has been reduced in percentage terms. For example, if the original value was $100 and the reduced value is $80, the reduction rate would be:

[(100 - 80) / 100] * 100 = 20%

Example Use Cases

  • Calculating price discounts
  • Determining salary reductions
  • Measuring inventory shrinkage
  • Assessing energy consumption reductions

Note: Ensure that the Reduced Value is not greater than the Original Value for accurate calculations.
