How to work it out

  1. Difference: 67 − 61 = 6
  2. Divide by the starting value: 6 ÷ 61 = 0.098361
  3. Multiply by 100: 9.8361%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 61 × (1 + 0.098361) = 61 × 1.098361 = 67.

In a spreadsheet: =(67-61)/61*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 1.0984 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 109.8361.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $61 to $67 has gone up by 9.8361%.

Why the change back is different

A 9.8361% rise followed by a 9.8361% fall does not bring you back to 61: it gives 60.4098. The second percentage is taken of 67, not of 61, so to undo this change you need 8.9552% instead.
