How this calculator works
Percentage-point change = new percentage − old percentage
If a rate rises from 20% to 25%, the change is 5 percentage points but a 25% relative increase. PercentScope shows both values side by side.
Example: 20% to 25%
The rate rises by 5 percentage points. Relative to the starting 20%, that is a 25% increase.
