How to work it out

  1. Difference: 73 − 65 = 8
  2. Divide by the starting value: 8 ÷ 65 = 0.123077
  3. Multiply by 100: 12.3077%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 65 × (1 + 0.123077) = 65 × 1.123077 = 73.

In a spreadsheet: =(73-65)/65*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 1.1231 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 112.3077.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $65 to $73 has gone up by 12.3077%.

Why the change back is different

A 12.3077% rise followed by a 12.3077% fall does not bring you back to 65: it gives 64.0154. The second percentage is taken of 73, not of 65, so to undo this change you need 10.9589% instead.
