How to work it out

  1. Difference: 100 − 60 = 40
  2. Divide by the starting value: 40 ÷ 60 = 0.666667
  3. Multiply by 100: 66.6667%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 60 × (1 + 0.666667) = 60 × 1.666667 = 100.

In a spreadsheet: =(100-60)/60*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 1.6667 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 166.6667.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $60 to $100 has gone up by 66.6667%.

Why the change back is different

A 66.6667% rise followed by a 66.6667% fall does not bring you back to 60: it gives 33.3333. The second percentage is taken of 100, not of 60, so to undo this change you need 40% instead.
