Background
A tenant receives a lease renewal notice with a higher monthly rent price.
Problem
Wants to know the exact percentage their rent is going up to see if it complies with local rent control laws.
How to use
Input the current rent (1500) as the Original Value and the proposed new rent (1625) as the New Value.
The tool subtracts the original value from the new value to find the absolute increase, divides that by the original value, and then multiplies by 100.
Yes, you can input decimal numbers for both the original and new values to calculate precise percentage increases.
If the new value is lower, the result will show a negative percentage, indicating a percentage decrease rather than an increase.
You can configure the output to show anywhere from 0 to 12 decimal places using the 'Decimal Places' setting.
The tool outputs the calculated increase amount and percentage increase in a structured JSON format.
