Revenue growth formula
Growth rate = (Current revenue − Previous revenue) ÷ Previous revenue × 100
Use comparable revenue
Keep period length, currency, revenue recognition policy, and business scope consistent. Seasonality can make month-over-month growth misleading, so compare the same month year over year when appropriate.
Read growth with context
Pair revenue growth with gross margin, customer concentration, retention, and cash flow. Fast growth is less valuable when it depends on unprofitable sales or one-off revenue.
Frequently asked
Subtract prior-period revenue from current-period revenue, divide by prior-period revenue, then multiply by 100.
Percentage growth is undefined because the formula would divide by zero. Report the absolute revenue increase and mark the percentage as not meaningful.
No. Revenue measures sales before expenses, while profit measures what remains after costs. Revenue can grow while profit falls.
Use consistent periods. Monthly data is useful for operating reviews, quarterly data smooths short-term noise, and annual data is best for longer-term comparisons.
