When the idea of the existing paragraph has reached it's logical conclusion and it's time to move onto the next idea.

That mostly depends on what you're writing about.
The general rule is, start a new paragraphy when you start developing a new idea. If you're writing an essay, you should be able to logically point each paragraph back to your main thesis. If you're writing narrative, well, you probably don't have a thesis, but you should start a new paragraph whenever someone new is speaking, whenever a character has a new thought, or whenever significantly new action occurs.
This is, of course, a very rough estimation. Without knowing your writing style or what you're trying to accomplish, it's really difficult to try to give better advise than this.

When the paragraph you've been writing has already served its purpose. Also each different character's dialogue must have a different paragraph.

when the subject changes but if its too long and all about one thing, you can enter it, but don't indent it it's a continuance but it doesn't seem so longwinded
