Excel 2002 - Windows XP

Is there a function that will tell me the percent increase from one number
to another? For example, if I have a 2004 salary and a 2005 salary and want
to know what the percent increase is from 2004 to 2005, is there a function
that will help me with this, or do I need to just do, good ole' fashion math.

Thanks for your help,
Jeff

=(2005-2004)/2004

format as percentage
