How to calculate it
Subtract previous CTR from current CTR, divide the difference by the absolute starting value, and multiply by 100. A negative sign means a decrease.
- Insert the values in the formula, perform the division first, and round only the final answer.
- A positive answer indicates growth and a negative answer indicates a reduction. The percentage is measured against the starting value.
Applied example
When previous CTR moves from 2.5 clicks to 2.85 clicks, the percentage change is 14%.
Subtract previous CTR from current CTR, divide the difference by the absolute starting value, and multiply by 100. A negative sign means a decrease. A positive answer indicates growth and a negative answer indicates a reduction. The percentage is measured against the starting value.
Practical use
Calculate the percentage of impressions that produce a click.
For CTR and marketing, use “previous CTR” as the reference. It must represent the full set or the starting point of the comparison.
Checks that matter
- Do not combine impressions from one campaign with clicks from another or confuse clicks with unique users.
- Do not treat the absolute difference as a percentage; divide it by the starting value first.
- Keep full precision during the calculation and round only the final answer to match the accuracy of the source data.

What is the correct reference value?
For CTR and marketing, use “previous CTR” as the reference. It must represent the full set or the starting point of the comparison.
Can the answer be greater than 100%?
Yes. This happens when the part exceeds the total or the final value is more than double the starting value.
How many decimal places should I use?
