How to work it out

  1. Difference: 6 − 94 = -88
  2. Divide by the starting value: -88 ÷ 94 = -0.93617
  3. Multiply by 100: -93.617%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 94 × (1 − 0.93617) = 94 × 0.06383 = 6.

In a spreadsheet: =(6-94)/94*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 6.383% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 6.383, so 93.617 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $94 to $6 is a 93.617% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 93.617% fall followed by a 93.617% rise does not bring you back to 94: it gives 11.617. The second percentage is taken of 6, not of 94, so to undo this change you need 1,466.6667% instead.
