How to work it out

  1. Difference: 95 − 25 = 70
  2. Divide by the starting value: 70 ÷ 25 = 2.8
  3. Multiply by 100: 280%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 25 × (1 + 2.8) = 25 × 3.8 = 95.

In a spreadsheet: =(95-25)/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 3.8 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 380. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $25 to $95 has gone up by 280%.

Why the change back is different

A 280% rise followed by a 280% fall does not bring you back to 25: it gives -171. The second percentage is taken of 95, not of 25, so to undo this change you need 73.6842% instead.
