FAQ

Is decimal input supported?
Yes. Both decimals (12.5) and integer percentages work. Negative numbers are supported for percent-change calculations.
Why does percent change of zero produce an error?
Mathematically, percent change from zero to any number is undefined (division by zero). Use percent of instead, or report it as 'increased from 0' descriptively.
