How to work it out

  1. Difference: 17 − 13 = 4
  2. Divide by the starting value: 4 ÷ 13 = 0.307692
  3. Multiply by 100: 30.7692%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 13 × (1 + 0.307692) = 13 × 1.307692 = 17.

In a spreadsheet: =(17-13)/13*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 1.3077 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 130.7692.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $13 to $17 has gone up by 30.7692%.

Why the change back is different

A 30.7692% rise followed by a 30.7692% fall does not bring you back to 13: it gives 11.7692. The second percentage is taken of 17, not of 13, so to undo this change you need 23.5294% instead.
