Period-over-period sales growth %. The Sales Growth Calculator takes sales in the previous period, sales in the current period and returns sales growth plus change in sales, next period at the same growth rate. Results update as you type, and the formula is shown under the result so you can repeat it in your own spreadsheet.
Pricing and sales metrics decide how much of the value you create you actually keep. Test price changes against margin, not volume alone, and measure the pipeline consistently so forecasts can be trusted. Use the worked example below to check the maths against your own figures.
How the Sales Growth Calculator works
Period-over-period growth is the simplest health metric; compare the same period a year earlier to remove seasonality.
Worked example
With the example values (sales in the previous period of $400,000, sales in the current period of $460,000), the sales growth is 15%; change in sales $60,000.00, next period at the same growth rate $529,000.00. Change any figure above and the result updates immediately; use Copy results to paste the summary into a note or email.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is sales growth calculated?
growth = (current − previous) ÷ previous.
Which figures do I need?
Sales in the previous period, sales in the current period. Take them from the same period and the same set of accounts or reports so the ratio is consistent, and check the example values as a guide to the units expected.
Should I test a price change before rolling it out?
Yes. Model the margin impact here first, then test on a segment or product line and measure volume and margin before applying it everywhere.
