How to work it out

  1. Difference: 95 − 75 = 20
  2. Divide by the starting value: 20 ÷ 75 = 0.266667
  3. Multiply by 100: 26.6667%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 75 × (1 + 0.266667) = 75 × 1.266667 = 95.

In a spreadsheet: =(95-75)/75*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 1.2667 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 126.6667.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $75 to $95 has gone up by 26.6667%.

Why the change back is different

A 26.6667% rise followed by a 26.6667% fall does not bring you back to 75: it gives 69.6667. The second percentage is taken of 95, not of 75, so to undo this change you need 21.0526% instead.
