Thumbs up Answer: Percentage Difference Between Budget & Actual

To calculate the percentage difference between budget and actual:

Formula:
=(Actual-Budget)/Budget*100 
  1. Subtract the budget from the actual amount in a new cell.
    Formula:
    =Actual-Budget 
  2. Divide the result by the budget amount.
    Formula:
    =(Actual-Budget)/Budget 
  3. Multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage difference.
    Formula:
    =(Actual-Budget)/Budget*100 

To increase the previous year to the current year:

Formula:
=(Current Year-Previous Year)/Previous Year*100 
  1. Subtract the previous year amount from the current year amount in a new cell.
    Formula:
    =Current Year-Previous Year 
  2. Divide the result by the previous year amount.
    Formula:
    =(Current Year-Previous Year)/Previous Year 
  3. Multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage increase.
    Formula:
    =(Current Year-Previous Year)/Previous Year*100

Default Percentage Difference Between Budget & Actual

Assuming Budget in A1, Actual in B1, Previous Year Value in C1, Current Year
in D1

Then enter in E1
=(B1-A1)/A1*100 percentage difference between Actual and Budget (you may
swap A1 with B1 as you want the formula to be

Enter in F1
=(D1-C1)/C1*100
