How to work it out

  1. Difference: 62 − 49 = 13
  2. Divide by the starting value: 13 ÷ 49 = 0.265306
  3. Multiply by 100: 26.5306%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 49 × (1 + 0.265306) = 49 × 1.265306 = 62.

In a spreadsheet: =(62-49)/49*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 1.2653 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 126.5306.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $49 to $62 has gone up by 26.5306%.

Why the change back is different

A 26.5306% rise followed by a 26.5306% fall does not bring you back to 49: it gives 45.551. The second percentage is taken of 62, not of 49, so to undo this change you need 20.9677% instead.
