How to work it out

  1. Difference: 50 − 19 = 31
  2. Divide by the starting value: 31 ÷ 19 = 1.631579
  3. Multiply by 100: 163.1579%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 19 × (1 + 1.631579) = 19 × 2.631579 = 50.

In a spreadsheet: =(50-19)/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 2.6316 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 263.1579. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $19 to $50 has gone up by 163.1579%.

Why the change back is different

A 163.1579% rise followed by a 163.1579% fall does not bring you back to 19: it gives -31.5789. The second percentage is taken of 50, not of 19, so to undo this change you need 62% instead.
