How to work it out

  1. Difference: 14 − 11 = 3
  2. Divide by the starting value: 3 ÷ 11 = 0.272727
  3. Multiply by 100: 27.2727%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 11 × (1 + 0.272727) = 11 × 1.272727 = 14.

In a spreadsheet: =(14-11)/11*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 1.2727 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 127.2727.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $11 to $14 has gone up by 27.2727%.

Why the change back is different

A 27.2727% rise followed by a 27.2727% fall does not bring you back to 11: it gives 10.1818. The second percentage is taken of 14, not of 11, so to undo this change you need 21.4286% instead.
