How to work it out

  1. Difference: 31 − 19 = 12
  2. Divide by the starting value: 12 ÷ 19 = 0.631579
  3. Multiply by 100: 63.1579%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 19 × (1 + 0.631579) = 19 × 1.631579 = 31.

In a spreadsheet: =(31-19)/19*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 1.6316 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 163.1579.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $19 to $31 has gone up by 63.1579%.

Why the change back is different

A 63.1579% rise followed by a 63.1579% fall does not bring you back to 19: it gives 11.4211. The second percentage is taken of 31, not of 19, so to undo this change you need 38.7097% instead.
