How to work it out

  1. Difference: 25 − 63 = -38
  2. Divide by the starting value: -38 ÷ 63 = -0.603175
  3. Multiply by 100: -60.3175%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 63 × (1 − 0.603175) = 63 × 0.396825 = 25.

In a spreadsheet: =(25-63)/63*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 39.6825% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 39.6825, so 60.3175 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $63 to $25 is a 60.3175% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 60.3175% fall followed by a 60.3175% rise does not bring you back to 63: it gives 40.0794. The second percentage is taken of 25, not of 63, so to undo this change you need 152% instead.
