How to work it out

  1. Difference: 94 − 18 = 76
  2. Divide by the starting value: 76 ÷ 18 = 4.222222
  3. Multiply by 100: 422.2222%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 18 × (1 + 4.222222) = 18 × 5.222222 = 94.

In a spreadsheet: =(94-18)/18*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 5.2222 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 522.2222. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $18 to $94 has gone up by 422.2222%.

Why the change back is different

A 422.2222% rise followed by a 422.2222% fall does not bring you back to 18: it gives -302.8889. The second percentage is taken of 94, not of 18, so to undo this change you need 80.8511% instead.
