How to work it out

  1. Difference: 14 − 100 = -86
  2. Divide by the starting value: -86 ÷ 100 = -0.86
  3. Multiply by 100: -86%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 100 × (1 − 0.86) = 100 × 0.14 = 14.

In a spreadsheet: =(14-100)/100*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 14% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 14, so 86 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $100 to $14 is a 86% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 86% fall followed by a 86% rise does not bring you back to 100: it gives 26.04. The second percentage is taken of 14, not of 100, so to undo this change you need 614.2857% instead.
