How to work it out

  1. Difference: 63 − 58 = 5
  2. Divide by the starting value: 5 ÷ 58 = 0.086207
  3. Multiply by 100: 8.6207%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 58 × (1 + 0.086207) = 58 × 1.086207 = 63.

In a spreadsheet: =(63-58)/58*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 1.0862 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 108.6207.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $58 to $63 has gone up by 8.6207%.

Why the change back is different

A 8.6207% rise followed by a 8.6207% fall does not bring you back to 58: it gives 57.569. The second percentage is taken of 63, not of 58, so to undo this change you need 7.9365% instead.
