Frequently asked questions
How do I grow a number by a percentage?
Multiply by one plus the share: 200 increased by 10 percent becomes 200 x 1.10 = 220. The calculator applies that factor to whatever value and growth you enter.
What does one 10 percent raise after another give?
222 from 200 would be wrong: 200 grows to 220, and the second 10 percent applies to 220, landing at 242. Raises compound because the base moves under you each round.
Why can the increase exceed 100 percent?
Nothing caps it: doubling a value is a 100 percent increase, tripling is 200 percent. The formula multiplies by 1 + p/100, so p can grow as large as the story behind it needs.
