Cost Decrease Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Cost Decrease (CD) is:

$CD = IC - IC \times \frac{C}{100}$

Where:

CD is the Cost Decrease ($)
IC is the initial cost ($)
C is the percent decrease in cost (%)

What is Cost Decrease?

Cost Decrease (CD) is the reduction in cost from an initial value. It is calculated by multiplying the percent decrease by the initial cost, then subtracting the result from the initial cost. This metric is useful for understanding the savings achieved through cost reductions.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Initial Cost: $1000
Percent Decrease: 20%

Step 1: Calculate the decrease amount:

$1000 \times \frac{20}{100} = 200$

Step 2: Subtract the decrease amount from the initial cost:

$1000 - 200 = 800$

The Cost Decrease (CD) is $800.
