Month Over Month Growth Calculator

What Is Month Over Month Growth?

Month over month growth is a simple way to measure how a business, website, product, or other metric has changed from one month to the next. It compares the current month’s value with the previous month’s value to show whether performance has improved or declined.

If the current month’s value is higher than the previous month’s value, the result is a positive percentage, which means the business has achieved growth. If the current month’s value is lower, the result is a negative percentage, indicating a decline.

For example, suppose a business had:

• Previous Month Revenue: $10,000
• Current Month Revenue: $12,000

Since revenue increased from $10,000 to $12,000, the business experienced month over month growth. The exact percentage can be calculated by comparing the change in revenue with the previous month’s revenue.

Tracking MoM growth can help businesses understand whether their performance is moving in the right direction. It can be used for revenue, sales, website traffic, customers, subscriptions, expenses, and many other metrics.

How to Calculate Monthly Growth

Calculating monthly growth is a simple way to compare your performance from one month to the next. It shows whether your revenue, sales, website traffic, investment, or another metric has increased or decreased compared with the previous month.

The MoM growth formula is:

MoM Growth (%) = [(Current Month − Previous Month) ÷ Previous Month] × 100

For example, suppose your business earned $20,000 last month and $25,000 this month.

• Previous Month: $20,000
• Current Month: $25,000
• Difference: $25,000 − $20,000 = $5,000

Now apply the formula:

Growth = ($5,000 ÷ $20,000) × 100 = 25%

So, your month over month growth is 25%. This means your current month's result is 25% higher than the previous month.

The same calculation can be used to find your monthly growth rate for sales, revenue, users, expenses, or other monthly metrics.
