About this calculator

Percentage decrease measures how much a value has fallen relative to its original, calculated as (original value − new value) / original value × 100. Unlike a simple difference, expressing a drop as a percentage makes it comparable across completely different scales — a $5 drop means very different things on a $10 item versus a $500 item, but the percentage decrease puts both on the same footing.

This calculation shows up constantly: retailers advertise discounts as percentage off, analysts report declining sales or revenue period over period, and anyone tracking a falling stock price, shrinking population, or a weight-loss goal needs the percent change rather than the raw number. This calculator takes your original and new values and returns the percentage decrease between them.
