How to work it out

  1. Difference: 100 − 83 = 17
  2. Divide by the starting value: 17 ÷ 83 = 0.204819
  3. Multiply by 100: 20.4819%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 83 × (1 + 0.204819) = 83 × 1.204819 = 100.

In a spreadsheet: =(100-83)/83*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 1.2048 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 120.4819.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $83 to $100 has gone up by 20.4819%.

Why the change back is different

A 20.4819% rise followed by a 20.4819% fall does not bring you back to 83: it gives 79.5181. The second percentage is taken of 100, not of 83, so to undo this change you need 17% instead.
