How to work it out

  1. Difference: 93 − 88 = 5
  2. Divide by the starting value: 5 ÷ 88 = 0.056818
  3. Multiply by 100: 5.6818%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 88 × (1 + 0.056818) = 88 × 1.056818 = 93.

In a spreadsheet: =(93-88)/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 1.0568 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 105.6818.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $88 to $93 has gone up by 5.6818%.

Why the change back is different

A 5.6818% rise followed by a 5.6818% fall does not bring you back to 88: it gives 87.7159. The second percentage is taken of 93, not of 88, so to undo this change you need 5.3763% instead.
