The working behind the answer
How to use this calculator
Use equal-length periods and a consistent revenue definition, such as amounts before or after refunds. Include positive whole order counts to compare average order value. The signed revenue change shows whether revenue increased or decreased.
The formula
Compare two equal-length periods
Revenue growth = (current − previous) ÷ previous × 100; average order value = revenue ÷ orders
A worked example
Revenue rises from £10,000 to £12,000 while orders rise from 100 to 120. Revenue and order volume both grow 20%, while average order value remains £100.
Good to know
This business view adds order-volume and order-value analysis to a percentage change. Previous revenue must be positive. Both order counts must be positive for averages to be defined. No growth is forecast and different currencies are not converted.
Common questions
Why include order counts?
They help distinguish growth from more orders versus a changed average value per order.
Can current revenue be lower?
Yes. The revenue growth result is then negative, showing a decline.
