How to Use the Percentage Decrease Calculator

This guide will walk you through the steps needed to effectively use the Percentage Decrease Calculator, helping you determine both the absolute decrease between two numbers and the percentage decrease.

Step 1: Identify Your Values

Before using the calculator, identify the original value and the new value. The original value represents the starting amount you are comparing against, while the new value is the reduced amount you’re comparing to.

Step 2: Enter the Original Value

In the calculator’s input section, locate the field labeled Original Value. Enter the original number in this box. Make sure:

  • The number is at least 0.01, as values less than this are not allowed.
  • Enter the number as accurately as possible, using decimal points if necessary.

Step 3: Enter the New Value

In the field labeled New Value, enter the reduced number. Here are the guidelines to follow:

  • The new value must be a non-negative number. Enter the value with precision.
  • If the new value exceeds the original value, the result will indicate an increase rather than a decrease.

Step 4: Calculate the Decrease

Once both values are entered correctly, the calculator will automatically compute two results for you:

  • Decrease Amount: This is calculated by subtracting the new value from the original value. It shows the actual amount decreased and is formatted to two decimal places.
  • Percentage Decrease: This is determined by taking the decrease amount, dividing it by the original value, and then multiplying by 100. This result is formatted as a percentage, rounded to two decimal places.

Step 5: Review the Results

Examine both the decrease amount and the percentage decrease provided by the calculator. Use these insights to better understand the scale and significance of the reduction between the two values you inputted.

With these steps, you can efficiently calculate both the absolute and percentage decrease between any two given values using the Percentage Decrease Calculator.
