How to work it out

  1. Difference: 63 − 25 = 38
  2. Divide by the starting value: 38 ÷ 25 = 1.52
  3. Multiply by 100: 152%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 25 × (1 + 1.52) = 25 × 2.52 = 63.

In a spreadsheet: =(63-25)/25*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 2.52 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 252. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $25 to $63 has gone up by 152%.

Why the change back is different

A 152% rise followed by a 152% fall does not bring you back to 25: it gives -32.76. The second percentage is taken of 63, not of 25, so to undo this change you need 60.3175% instead.
