How to work it out

  1. Difference: 74 − 62 = 12
  2. Divide by the starting value: 12 ÷ 62 = 0.193548
  3. Multiply by 100: 19.3548%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 62 × (1 + 0.193548) = 62 × 1.193548 = 74.

In a spreadsheet: =(74-62)/62*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 1.1935 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 119.3548.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $62 to $74 has gone up by 19.3548%.

Why the change back is different

A 19.3548% rise followed by a 19.3548% fall does not bring you back to 62: it gives 59.6774. The second percentage is taken of 74, not of 62, so to undo this change you need 16.2162% instead.
