Price Elasticity of Demand Calculator
Result
Price Elasticity of Demand Calculator Calculate price elasticity of demand: how quantity demanded changes with price changes. Formula: (% change in quantity) ÷ (% change in price). Elasticity > 1 = elastic (demand sensitive to price), Elasticity < 1 = ine — free online calculator.
Formula
- Price Elasticity of Demand Calculator calculates its result from Quantity change (%), Price change (%). It uses the formula qty_change_pct/price_change_pct. Change any input to recalculate the result instantly.
- The main inputs are Quantity change, Price change. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
- Use monetary amounts, rates and time periods exactly as labeled; the result reflects the assumptions entered on this page.
- Changing any input above recalculates the result with the same calculation engine used by this page.
Example: Price Elasticity of Demand
- Quantity change: 10 %
- Price change: 5 %
Using Quantity change (%) = 10, Price change (%) = 5, the calculated result is 2.
