How to work it out

  1. Difference: 81 − 1 = 80
  2. Divide by the starting value: 80 ÷ 1 = 80
  3. Multiply by 100: 8,000%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 1 × (1 + 80) = 1 × 81 = 81.

In a spreadsheet: =(81-1)/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 81 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 8,100. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $1 to $81 has gone up by 8,000%.

Why the change back is different

A 8,000% rise followed by a 8,000% fall does not bring you back to 1: it gives -6,399. The second percentage is taken of 81, not of 1, so to undo this change you need 98.7654% instead.
