Default Percent of Increase...Is there such a formula?

Is there such a formula that would allow me to determine the percent of
increase from say cells B3 to C3 given these cells have numerical figures in
them?

=C3/B3-1 or =(C3-B3)/B3
In either case, format the result as a percentage.

With 10 in B3 and 12 in C3

In D3 enter =(C3-B3)/B3 to return 20% increase
