How to work it out

  1. Difference: 77 − 61 = 16
  2. Divide by the starting value: 16 ÷ 61 = 0.262295
  3. Multiply by 100: 26.2295%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 61 × (1 + 0.262295) = 61 × 1.262295 = 77.

In a spreadsheet: =(77-61)/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 1.2623 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 126.2295.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $61 to $77 has gone up by 26.2295%.

Why the change back is different

A 26.2295% rise followed by a 26.2295% fall does not bring you back to 61: it gives 56.8033. The second percentage is taken of 77, not of 61, so to undo this change you need 20.7792% instead.
