How to work it out

  1. Difference: 44 − 1 = 43
  2. Divide by the starting value: 43 ÷ 1 = 43
  3. Multiply by 100: 4,300%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 1 × (1 + 43) = 1 × 44 = 44.

In a spreadsheet: =(44-1)/1*100. Always divide by the starting value, not the new one. A rise from 40 to 50 is +25%, but the fall from 50 back to 40 is −20%.

What the result means

The new value is 44 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 4,400. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $1 to $44 has gone up by 4,300%.

Why the change back is different

A 4,300% rise followed by a 4,300% fall does not bring you back to 1: it gives -1,848. The second percentage is taken of 44, not of 1, so to undo this change you need 97.7273% instead.
