1. What is a Calculator Soup Increase Calculator?

Definition: This calculator determines the new value after applying a percentage increase to an original value.

Purpose: It helps with financial calculations, price adjustments, statistical analysis, and any scenario where you need to apply a percentage increase.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ \text{New} = \text{Old} \times \left(1 + \frac{\%}{100}\right) \]

Where:

\( \text{New} \) — Result after increase
\( \text{Old} \) — Original value

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's the difference between percentage increase and absolute increase?
A: Percentage increase is relative to the original value, while absolute increase is a fixed amount added.

Q2: How do I calculate a percentage decrease?
A: Use the same formula but with a negative percentage value.

Q3: Can I use this for compound percentage increases?
A: No, this calculates a single increase. For compound increases, you'd need to apply the calculator multiple times.

Q4: What if I want to find the percentage increase between two values?
A: Use the formula: % Increase = [(New - Old)/Old] × 100

Q5: Why does 100% increase double the value?
A: Because 100% of the original value is added to itself (100% = 1.0 in decimal form).
