Your formula is correct. Difference between old and new price divided by
old price give you the % of increase. 

My math says it's 51%.

Good luck!

Subject: [mso] need simple help Excel Formula

I am approaching being brain dead on this because so many people are
telling me different ways of doing a markup.    I'm not an accountant
(not even a bookeeper but this task fell to me)
We experienced a pretty heavy raw material price increase.  Our
president decided that we would only pass on  what our increase % is.
(no markup in the raw material cost as we normally would do)

Old Price =  $8.87   New Price= $13.38    Difference = $4.51
Percent = 4.51 / 8.87

Is this right?  How am I supposed to do this.

Any help would really be appreciated.

Thanks,
Vicky
