Best practices

• Label which number is the base value before calculating percentage change.
• Use exact values for finance or reporting work, then round only the final result.
• Check whether you need percentage of a number or percentage change between numbers.

Common mistakes

• A 20% decrease followed by a 20% increase does not return to the original value.
• Percent points and percent change mean different things in reports.
• Rounding intermediate values can create visible differences in totals.
