Revenue Growth Calculator – % Change YoY
Growth = (current − prior) ÷ prior × 100.
- $410k vs $350k = +17.1% YoY.

How Revenue Growth Is Calculated
Growth is the percentage change between two revenue periods: subtract prior from current, divide by prior, multiply by 100. Worked example: revenue rising from $350,000 to $410,000 grows (410,000 − 350,000) ÷ 350,000 = 17.1% year over year. For multi-year comparisons use CAGR — three years from $200k to $340k is (340 ÷ 200)^(1/3) − 1 = 19.4% annually — because simple averaging hides compounding. Watch that price hikes can print growth while volumes actually shrink. Also separate recurring from one-time revenue so contract timing cannot fake a trend that is not really there.

Use Cases
Board reporting
Quote one consistent YoY figure rather than ad-hoc month counts.
Goal setting

Averaging yearly growth rates instead of compounding CAGR
