Kasvuprotsent, also known as growth percentage, is a statistical measure used to quantify the rate of increase or growth of a particular variable over a specified period. It is commonly applied in finance, economics, and business to evaluate the performance or development of entities such as sales, revenue, profit, or population.

The growth percentage is typically calculated by taking the difference between the ending value and the starting value, dividing this difference by the starting value, and then multiplying by 100 to convert it into a percentage. The formula is expressed as:

Growth Percentage = ((Ending Value - Starting Value) / Starting Value) × 100%

A positive growth percentage indicates an increase, while a negative value signifies a decline. For example, if a company's sales increased from 1 million euros to 1.2 million euros over a year, the growth percentage would be ((1.2 - 1) / 1) × 100% = 20%.

This measure provides a straightforward way to compare growth across different periods or entities, regardless of their initial sizes. It is frequently used in financial reports, market analysis, and economic assessments to assess trends, performance, and development opportunities.

While the growth percentage offers valuable insights, it is important to consider other factors such as the context of changes, inflation, and market conditions to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the growth dynamics.
