๐ What Is Sales Growth?
Sales growth tells you the percentage change in sales over a specific period. Itโs one of the simplest and most important indicators of your business performance.
Sales growth helps answer questions like:
- How did this month’s sales compare to last monthโs?
- Are we doing better than last year?
- Is our marketing strategy paying off?
๐ข Sales Growth Formula
The formula is easy to remember:
Sales Growth (%) = [(New Sales โ Old Sales) รท Old Sales] ร 100
You subtract the old value (previous period) from the new value (current period), divide by the old value, and multiply by 100 to get the growth percentage.
โ Example
Letโs say your sales were:
- Last quarter: $80,000
- This quarter: $100,000
Here’s how you’d calculate growth:
Sales Growth = [(100,000 โ 80,000) รท 80,000] ร 100
= (20,000 รท 80,000) ร 100 = 25%
๐ That means your sales grew by 25% this quarter!
If the result is negative, it means sales declined during the period.
๐ Why Sales Growth Matters
Tracking your sales growth over time helps you:
- Evaluate marketing and sales strategies
- Identify seasonal trends
- Set realistic sales goals
- Show investors or stakeholders your progress
Consistent growth shows a healthy, thriving business โ while slowing or negative growth could be a sign to pivot or adjust.
