How to work it out

  1. Difference: 81 − 57 = 24
  2. Divide by the starting value: 24 ÷ 57 = 0.421053
  3. Multiply by 100: 42.1053%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 57 × (1 + 0.421053) = 57 × 1.421053 = 81.

In a spreadsheet: =(81-57)/57*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 1.4211 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 142.1053.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $57 to $81 has gone up by 42.1053%.

Why the change back is different

A 42.1053% rise followed by a 42.1053% fall does not bring you back to 57: it gives 46.8947. The second percentage is taken of 81, not of 57, so to undo this change you need 29.6296% instead.
