How to work it out

  1. Difference: 74 − 25 = 49
  2. Divide by the starting value: 49 ÷ 25 = 1.96
  3. Multiply by 100: 196%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 25 × (1 + 1.96) = 25 × 2.96 = 74.

In a spreadsheet: =(74-25)/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 2.96 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 296. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $25 to $74 has gone up by 196%.

Why the change back is different

A 196% rise followed by a 196% fall does not bring you back to 25: it gives -71.04. The second percentage is taken of 74, not of 25, so to undo this change you need 66.2162% instead.
