Input and processing example

Compare it yourself · Illustrative example

처음 / initial: 100
나중 / later: 125
(125 − 100) ÷ 100 × 100 = +25%

Steps to verify

  • Label initial and later periods.
  • Enter comparable values.
  • Report the absolute difference too.

How to interpret the result

125 exceeds 100 by 25, a 25% increase. The absolute difference and percentage change are different units.

Deciding what to do next

For click comparisons, review duration and distribution too. A numeric increase does not establish more unique people or revenue.
