Revenue Growth Calculator
Compare revenue between two periods to get the growth rate, absolute change and growth multiple.
About Revenue Growth Calculator
Period-on-period growth expresses the change in revenue as a percentage of where it started, so a rise from 10 to 12 and from 100 to 120 both read as 20%. Growth rate is the headline number in every board pack and investor update, and it is the basis of the forecasts built on top of it.
Formula
Revenue Growth
Growth % = (Revenue at end of period − Revenue at start of period) ÷ Revenue at start of period × 100
- Revenue at start of period
- Value at the start of the period
- Revenue at end of period
- Value at the end of the period
