How to work it out

  1. Difference: 66 − 33 = 33
  2. Divide by the starting value: 33 ÷ 33 = 1
  3. Multiply by 100: 100%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 33 × (1 + 1) = 33 × 2 = 66.

In a spreadsheet: =(66-33)/33*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 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 200. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $33 to $66 has gone up by 100%.

Why the change back is different

A 100% rise followed by a 100% fall does not bring you back to 33: it gives 0. The second percentage is taken of 66, not of 33, so to undo this change you need 50% instead.
