Year-over-Year (YoY)
Compare the same period across years (e.g., Q1 2024 vs Q1 2023). Best for eliminating seasonal variations and showing true long-term growth trends.
Measure your business revenue growth rate between any two periods. Whether you're tracking month-over-month, quarter-over-quarter, or year-over-year growth — enter your previous and current revenue to get the exact growth percentage with visual breakdowns.

Revenue growth measures the percentage increase in a company's sales over a specific period. It's the most fundamental indicator of business health — a growing top line signals increasing demand, expanding market share, or successful product launches.
Revenue growth can be measured month-over-month (MoM), quarter-over-quarter (QoQ), or year-over-year (YoY). YoY is the most common for eliminating seasonal effects. If your Q3 revenue was $250,000 and Q4 jumped to $340,000, that's a 36% quarterly growth rate.
Investors, analysts and stakeholders focus heavily on revenue growth when evaluating a company. High-growth companies (20%+ YoY) typically command higher valuations, while declining revenue signals trouble regardless of profitability.
Compare the same period across years (e.g., Q1 2024 vs Q1 2023). Best for eliminating seasonal variations and showing true long-term growth trends.
Compare consecutive quarters. Useful for tracking momentum and identifying growth acceleration or deceleration in real-time.
The most granular view. Best for startups and fast-moving businesses where management needs to track revenue changes in near real-time.
Early-stage startups are expected to grow rapidly. 3x annual growth (T2D3 model) is common for top SaaS startups in their first few years.
Scaling companies with product-market fit typically grow 20-40% annually. At this rate, revenue doubles roughly every 2-3 years.
Established businesses with large revenue bases typically grow 5-15% annually. Consistent growth at this level is impressive for large enterprises.
Large publicly-traded companies often grow in single digits. Even 3-5% revenue growth can be significant when the revenue base is billions of dollars.
Retail, tourism, and agriculture see dramatic seasonal swings. Always compare same periods (YoY) to get meaningful growth metrics.
SaaS businesses are benchmarked on MRR/ARR growth. Best-in-class SaaS companies maintain 50%+ revenue growth through scale.

Monthly revenue grows from $100K to $150K.
Annual revenue: $2M last year, $2.4M this year.
Quarterly sales from $45K to $62K.
Revenue drops from $500K to $475K.
For startups: 15-25% monthly or 100%+ annually. For mid-stage companies: 20-50% YoY. For mature businesses: 5-15% YoY. "Good" depends on your industry, company size, and market conditions.
Subtract previous revenue from current revenue, divide by previous revenue, multiply by 100. Formula: ((Current - Previous) / Previous) × 100 = Revenue Growth %.
Revenue growth measures top-line sales increase. Profit growth measures bottom-line earnings increase. A company can grow revenue 50% but see profits decline if costs rise faster. Both metrics matter.
Year-over-year comparison eliminates seasonal effects. Many businesses have natural peaks and valleys (holiday retail, summer tourism). YoY compares the same season across years for a cleaner picture.
Yes. Negative revenue growth means revenue has declined. This is sometimes called "revenue contraction." Our calculator automatically detects and labels negative growth as a decline.
