How to work it out

  1. Difference: 82 − 56 = 26
  2. Divide by the starting value: 26 ÷ 56 = 0.464286
  3. Multiply by 100: 46.4286%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 56 × (1 + 0.464286) = 56 × 1.464286 = 82.

In a spreadsheet: =(82-56)/56*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 1.4643 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 146.4286.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $56 to $82 has gone up by 46.4286%.

Why the change back is different

A 46.4286% rise followed by a 46.4286% fall does not bring you back to 56: it gives 43.9286. The second percentage is taken of 82, not of 56, so to undo this change you need 31.7073% instead.
