Is this how u calculate percentage change?

calculate the % change in net sales from 2006 to 2007



this is how i do it:



Net sales in 2006 = $19,315

Net sales in 2007 = $24,006

Difference = $24,006 - $19,315 = $4,691

Percentage change = $4,691/$19,315 = 24.3%



did i do it right?Is this how u calculate percentage change?
Absolutely correct.



Be wary, there are two types of percentage change though. Couplets and cumulative.



Couplet, you merely look at growth on previous year (or term).

Cumulative, you compare each year to the base year (term) however many years back.

Absolutely correct.
