How to work it out

  1. Difference: 89 − 88 = 1
  2. Divide by the starting value: 1 ÷ 88 = 0.011364
  3. Multiply by 100: 1.1364%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 88 × (1 + 0.011364) = 88 × 1.011364 = 89.

In a spreadsheet: =(89-88)/88*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 1.0114 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 101.1364.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $88 to $89 has gone up by 1.1364%.

Why the change back is different

A 1.1364% rise followed by a 1.1364% fall does not bring you back to 88: it gives 87.9886. The second percentage is taken of 89, not of 88, so to undo this change you need 1.1236% instead.
