Time Percentage Change Calculator
The Time Percentage Change Calculator quickly shows how much a time value has increased, decreased, or changed compared to a previous one. It is surely helpful if you want to track how much faster or slower you've become whether you are running a certain distance, working on projects, or simply analyzing efficiency.
How to Use the Time Percentage Change Calculator
This tool is very easy to use. You just need to enter the old time (previous) and new time (recent) on their respective input fields. Click the Submit or press the Enter key and be done with it.
This tool provides an accurate and fast computation. For example, dealing with productivity increase from 3 hours and 17 minutes down to 1 hour and 53 minutes could be a little complex for people like me. But with this calculator, it will be a breeze. So, here's how to use this tool:
- Step 1
First, check on the
⚙️ Display Settingsto know your options. You'll have the choice to include or exclude hours, minutes, seconds and/or milliseconds in your calculation. It is toggled with the actual input button so clicking it will make the respective input field appear or disappear. Everything is displayed by default. Take your time checking this feature. - Step 2
Then, enter the
Old Timeon its labeled row. It is the first set of input fields (Hours, Minutes, Seconds, Milliseconds) in the calculator. The old time represents the previous time or the time you do it for the very first instance.For this to be a lot easier, let's do an example. Let's assume we have spent
2 hours and 35 minutesfertilizing the our 2-hectare rice field as a beginner. Let's input these values on theOld Time. - Step 3
Next, let's continue by entering the
New Time. It represents the latest time duration you have spent on the same task or activity.On step 2, we have entered
2 hours and 35 minuteson fertilization task. However, we have improved this time, not it took us1 hour and 17 minutesto complete the same task. - Step 4
Finally, click on the
Calculatebutton to get the result with is displayed at the bottom part of the tool labeled with✍ Result.As a result of our example, the
time percentage changewould be-50.32%. Which means we've done the task a lot faster around half of the time before.
⚙️ Form Components
There are only a few components of this calculator which is really easy to determine its function. To give more clarity, here’s a breakdown of each part of the tool with brief descriptions:
⚙️ Display Settings
Let's you show and hide time units with their respective input display. Unchecking Milliseconds would hide milliseconds time input fields.
📑 Old Time
The first set of inputs formatted in hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds where you need to enter the previous time. This serves as the first-time duration when you finished a task.
📑 New Time
The second set of time input fields which you need to enter the recent time. This represents the second time duration when you finished the same task.
📑 Result
Shows the time percentage change result based on the old time compared against the new time.
📨 Calculate and Clear
The trigger of the process is the Calculate button. Once clicked, it will run the computation. Also, by clicking on Clear button, it will trigger a reset of all time input fields in the calculator.
Time Percentage Change Formula
To get the time percentage change, we just need to subtract (➖) new time with old time, divide (➗) the result by the old time. Then, multiply (✖️) it by 100 to get the percentage.
Here's a quick formula.
Where:
- Old Time = Your starting duration
- New Time = Your latest duration
- A positive result = Increase in time
- A negative result = Decrease in time
