- y = year
- y2 – y1 = Percentage point change
- [(y2 – y1) ÷ y1] x 100 = Percent change (%)

Example 1: Percentage point change from 2021 to 2025
y1 = 46.7
y2 = 55.9
y2 – y1
55.9 – 46.7
+9.2
Example 2: Percent change (%) from 2015 to 2021
y1 = 57.1
y2 = 46.7
[(y2 – y1) ÷ y1] x 100
[(46.7 – 57.1) ÷ 57.1] x 100
(–10.4 ÷ 57.1) x 100
–18.2%
