Why it matters

Growth rate helps translate raw revenue changes into a normalized metric that works across teams, markets, and reporting periods.

When to use

  • Monthly or quarterly reporting
  • Comparing launch performance across channels
  • Checking if growth is accelerating or slowing

Inputs & Outputs

Inputs

  • Previous revenue is the baseline period you want to compare against.
  • Current revenue is the more recent period under review.

Outputs

  • Growth rate shows the percentage increase or decrease from the baseline.
  • Absolute change shows the difference in revenue units.

Growth rate formula

Subtract previous revenue from current revenue to get the change. Divide the change by previous revenue to express growth as a percentage.

Revenue growth = ((current revenue - previous revenue) / previous revenue) x 100

Worked example

1

Quarter-over-quarter review

Revenue increased from 240,000 to 300,000.

Inputs

  • Previous revenue: 240,000
  • Current revenue: 300,000

Steps

  • Change = 300,000 - 240,000 = 60,000
  • Growth = 60,000 / 240,000 = 25%

Result

  • Revenue grew 25% quarter over quarter.

Edge cases & caveats

  • A small baseline can make growth rates look unusually large.
  • Use the same period length on both sides of the comparison.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this calculator show negative growth?

Yes. If current revenue is lower than previous revenue, the percentage will be negative and indicate contraction.

Should I use booked or recognized revenue?

Use whichever metric your team reports consistently, but do not mix definitions across periods.
