How to work it out

  1. Difference: 62 − 19 = 43
  2. Divide by the starting value: 43 ÷ 19 = 2.263158
  3. Multiply by 100: 226.3158%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 19 × (1 + 2.263158) = 19 × 3.263158 = 62.

In a spreadsheet: =(62-19)/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 3.2632 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 326.3158. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $19 to $62 has gone up by 226.3158%.

Why the change back is different

A 226.3158% rise followed by a 226.3158% fall does not bring you back to 19: it gives -78.3158. The second percentage is taken of 62, not of 19, so to undo this change you need 69.3548% instead.
