How to work it out

  1. Difference: 37 − 14 = 23
  2. Divide by the starting value: 23 ÷ 14 = 1.642857
  3. Multiply by 100: 164.2857%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 14 × (1 + 1.642857) = 14 × 2.642857 = 37.

In a spreadsheet: =(37-14)/14*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 2.6429 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 264.2857. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $14 to $37 has gone up by 164.2857%.

Why the change back is different

A 164.2857% rise followed by a 164.2857% fall does not bring you back to 14: it gives -23.7857. The second percentage is taken of 37, not of 14, so to undo this change you need 62.1622% instead.
