How to work it out

  1. Difference: 93 − 12 = 81
  2. Divide by the starting value: 81 ÷ 12 = 6.75
  3. Multiply by 100: 675%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 12 × (1 + 6.75) = 12 × 7.75 = 93.

In a spreadsheet: =(93-12)/12*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 7.75 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 775. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $12 to $93 has gone up by 675%.

Why the change back is different

A 675% rise followed by a 675% fall does not bring you back to 12: it gives -534.75. The second percentage is taken of 93, not of 12, so to undo this change you need 87.0968% instead.
