How to work it out

  1. Difference: 92 − 31 = 61
  2. Divide by the starting value: 61 ÷ 31 = 1.967742
  3. Multiply by 100: 196.7742%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 31 × (1 + 1.967742) = 31 × 2.967742 = 92.

In a spreadsheet: =(92-31)/31*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 2.9677 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 296.7742. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $31 to $92 has gone up by 196.7742%.

Why the change back is different

A 196.7742% rise followed by a 196.7742% fall does not bring you back to 31: it gives -89.0323. The second percentage is taken of 92, not of 31, so to undo this change you need 66.3043% instead.
