How to work it out

  1. Difference: 62 − 23 = 39
  2. Divide by the starting value: 39 ÷ 23 = 1.695652
  3. Multiply by 100: 169.5652%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 23 × (1 + 1.695652) = 23 × 2.695652 = 62.

In a spreadsheet: =(62-23)/23*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 2.6957 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 269.5652. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $23 to $62 has gone up by 169.5652%.

Why the change back is different

A 169.5652% rise followed by a 169.5652% fall does not bring you back to 23: it gives -43.1304. The second percentage is taken of 62, not of 23, so to undo this change you need 62.9032% instead.
