    These are few example to calculate growth rate or percent change:
    A particular city has a population of 800,000 in 1990 and a population of 1,500,000 in 2008. To find the growth rate of the population in this city, do the following:
    Growth Rate = (1,500,000 - 800,000)/800,000 * 100
    Growth Rate = 87.5 percent
    Average Annual Growth Rate = 87.5% / 18 years
    Average Annual Growth Rate = 4.86 percent

    This formula is also commonly used in calculation of growth rate.
    Percent change = (Vpresent-Vpast)/Vpast*100
    Well this field is very difficult to be explained here but you can do it by this formula,
    Vpresent = present or future value
    Vpast = past or present value
    I hope this may help you!

    There are lot of ways of calculating growth rate in any field, so what I know about this field of study is that you can calculate growth rate by the rate of change (percent change, growth rate) from one period to another is calculated as follows:
    Percent Change = (value at end of period - value at beginning of period)/value at beginning of * 100
