Percent vs percentage

Hello,

Please explain the difference meanings of these:

- percent increase
- percentage increase
- percentage of increase

If there is no difference, which one of them is more natural to use, particularly for a title of an axis of a chart?

Thanks,

You can use either of the first two, but the 3rd is not good for a chart. There is no difference between the other 2 when used in this way.
