Percentage Decrease Calculator
Work out how much a value has fallen in percentage terms, from an old value to a new value.

Percentage decrease = ((old value − new value) ÷ old value) × 100.
How it works
Enter the old and new values. The calculator finds how much was lost, divides by the old value, and converts it to a percent. A positive answer means a fall.
