How to work it out

  1. Difference: 94 − 12 = 82
  2. Divide by the starting value: 82 ÷ 12 = 6.833333
  3. Multiply by 100: 683.3333%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 12 × (1 + 6.833333) = 12 × 7.833333 = 94.

In a spreadsheet: =(94-12)/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 7.8333 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 783.3333. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $12 to $94 has gone up by 683.3333%.

Why the change back is different

A 683.3333% rise followed by a 683.3333% fall does not bring you back to 12: it gives -548.3333. The second percentage is taken of 94, not of 12, so to undo this change you need 87.234% instead.
