How to work it out

  1. Difference: 60 − 44 = 16
  2. Divide by the starting value: 16 ÷ 44 = 0.363636
  3. Multiply by 100: 36.3636%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 44 × (1 + 0.363636) = 44 × 1.363636 = 60.

In a spreadsheet: =(60-44)/44*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 1.3636 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 136.3636.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $44 to $60 has gone up by 36.3636%.

Why the change back is different

A 36.3636% rise followed by a 36.3636% fall does not bring you back to 44: it gives 38.1818. The second percentage is taken of 60, not of 44, so to undo this change you need 26.6667% instead.
