Revenue Growth Calculator

Use this calculator to measure revenue growth between two periods and understand whether your business is expanding or slowing down.

What this calculator does

The revenue growth calculator helps you compare revenue from one period to another.

It uses:

• previous revenue
• current revenue

This gives you:

• revenue growth amount
• revenue growth percentage

Revenue Growth Formula

Revenue Growth = Current Revenue − Previous Revenue

Revenue Growth Rate = (Current Revenue − Previous Revenue) ÷ Previous Revenue × 100

Where:

• Previous Revenue = revenue from the earlier period
• Current Revenue = revenue from the later period
• Revenue Growth = the absolute increase or decrease in revenue
• Revenue Growth Rate = the percentage change between the two periods

Example calculation

If:

• Previous revenue = 10000
• Current revenue = 12500

Then:

• Revenue growth = 12500 − 10000
• Revenue growth = 2500
• Revenue growth rate = 2500 ÷ 10000 × 100
• Revenue growth rate = 25%
