How to work it out

  1. Difference: 66 − 54 = 12
  2. Divide by the starting value: 12 ÷ 54 = 0.222222
  3. Multiply by 100: 22.2222%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 54 × (1 + 0.222222) = 54 × 1.222222 = 66.

In a spreadsheet: =(66-54)/54*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 1.2222 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 122.2222.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $54 to $66 has gone up by 22.2222%.

Why the change back is different

A 22.2222% rise followed by a 22.2222% fall does not bring you back to 54: it gives 51.3333. The second percentage is taken of 66, not of 54, so to undo this change you need 18.1818% instead.
