Compound Percentage
When percentages are applied repeatedly over multiple periods, such as compound interest in finance or cumulative growth rates in business.
Percentage Points vs Percent
Percentage points measure absolute difference (e.g., 5% to 10% is 5 percentage points), while percent change measures relative difference (100% increase).
Weighted Percentages
